The mission of the Stanford Obsessive-Compulsive Disorders Program is to improve the
diagnosis and treatment of obsessive-compulsive and related clinical problems in adults.
The program pursues this mission through four core activities:
First, we provide expert consultation and state-of-the-art
medication and psychotherapy treatment in a supportive outpatient environment
that respects the safety, dignity and confidentiality of every patient.
Second, we specialize in helping patients previously resistant to
treatment and patients with complex, related problems.
Third, we work to advance patient care through research into new
treatment modalities. Ongoing clinical studies allow us to evaluate
the effectiveness of these advances while offering free care to those
interested in participating.
Finally, we educate psychiatrists and other health care
professionals and members of the community regarding the nature,
treatment and human costs of OCD and related clinical problems.
