The programme illustrates aspects of behavioural psychotherapy (graded exposure for the treatment of phobias). The hand washing is tackled with response prevention. Discussion of the triggering and maintaining factors, and the dangers of any psychotherapeutic endeavour are also included.

Additional Information
There a very few teaching programmes that follow treatment over a number of sessions. The reason is that they are extraordinarily time consuming to produce; yet they are an ideal way for the student to get an insight into the process and complexities of treatment.
