Danger ideation reduction therapy (DIRT) for obsessive–compulsive washers. A controlled trial
Abstract
Twenty-one OCD sufferers with washing/contamination concerns took part in a controlled treatment trial at the Anxiety Disorders Clinic, University of Sydney. Eleven of the subjects received danger ideation reduction therapy (DIRT) over eight, 1 h weekly group sessions conducted by the second author. Ten subjects were placed on a wait list and did not receive DIRT or any other treatment. DIRT procedures were solely directed at decreasing danger-related expectancies concerning contamination and did not include exposure, response prevention or behavioral experiments. Components of DIRT include attentional focusing, filmed interviews, corrective information, cognitive restructuring, expert testimony, microbiological experiments and a probability of catastrophe assessment task. All subjects were assessed at pre-treatment, post-treatment and three-month follow-up using the Maudsley Obsessional-Compulsive Inventory, Leyton Obsessionality Inventory, Beck Depression Inventory and a Self Rating of Severity Scale. Changes from pre-treatment to after treatment (post-treatment and follow-up scores averaged) were significantly greater in the DIRT condition than in the control condition for all measures. No significant differences were obtained between groups on post-treatment to follow-up change on any measure. The implications of these findings for theoretical models of OCD and its management are discussed.

“a pair of Australian studies (Jones and Menzies, 1998; Krochmalik et al., 2004) that evaluated a novel cognitive intervention called Danger Ideation Reduction Therapy (DIRT) provides perhaps the strongest evidence for the efficacy of more purely cognitive interventions that do not involve any exposure procedures.”

In the citing paper
“In the first of two studies of patients presenting with primarily contamination/washing symptoms, DIRT resulted in markedly greater reductions in OCD symptoms as compared to a wait list control (Jones & Menzies, 1998).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
