  • 소개/요약Objectives: A substantial proportion of individuals affected by obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) are not experiencing adequate therapeutic outcomes from current standard psychotherapeutic treatments. Mindfulness has had a positive therapeutic impact on many symptoms associated with OCD. This study investigated the views of experienced psychotherapeutic practitioners concerning the potential efficacy of mindfulness as a therapeutic intervention for individuals with OCD. Method: Six psychotherapeutic professionals experienced in using mindfulness with individuals affected by OCD were interviewed. Data were subjected to thematic analysis. Results: Participants reported that engaging in mindfulness enabled people with OCD to experience an altered relationship with their symptoms and self. This new attitude, in conjunction with cognitive behavioural therapy, was perceived as helping individuals manage their OCD in an effective and healthy way. However, participants were unsure whether an exclusively mindfulness-based treatment would be effective. Conclusion: This study indicates the potential for mindfulness practice to constitute a valuable therapeutic resource in helping people manage their OCD experience. Implications for future
