From the laboratory to the clinic (and back again): How experiments have informed cognitive–behavior therapy for obsessive–compulsive disorder

Behavioral and cognitive models—as well as complementary theories such as the inference-based, mood-as-input, and seeking proxies for internal states approaches—have been put forward to explain the development and maintenance of obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD). Although theory is important to in...
