Purpose: Today, the presence of the positive affect system in the research domain criteria (RDoC) suggests a different treatment path with emphasis on emotional symptoms and without labeling the disorder. Based on this, the present study aimed to develop and validate the treatment protocol for obsessive-compulsive disorder, according to the positive affect system. Method: The statistical population was people suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder in Tehran in 2022. Sixteen participants were purposefully participated from mental health clinics and sampling continued until data saturation was reached. Data was collected through a questionnaire and a semi-structured interview that was approved. Data analysis was done based on grounded theory method with Strauss and Corbin method and three stages of coding. Findings: The theoretical codes obtained in the research included: reward learning, response to reward, valuing reward and hope for reward. Each of theoretical codes included four central code categories and ten open codes that correspond to positive affective factors in the RDoC domain. Open, central and theoretical codes were approved by six psychologists with a content validity index coefficient of 0.85. Innovation: The treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder, considering the field of positive affect in the RDoC system, can be one of the most recent looks at the etiology and treatment of this disease, which has not been discussed in detail so far. Conclusion: According to the findings, paying attention to the positive affect system in obsessive people can raise the mood and hope of the sufferers and increase their motivation to fight the disorder properly. The findings of this study introduce valuable codes in this field, but more studies are needed to find more and more accurate codes in order to obtain reliable results.

Cognition is mediated and combined by mental processes formed by internal speech and cognitive processes play a key role in generalized anxiety disorders and obsessive-compulsive disorder. The aim of this study was to compare the frequency and content of inner speech in people with generalized anxiety disorder traits, obsessive-compulsive disorder traits and normal. 348 (boys: 203, girls: 145) students of Shahid Beheshti University were selected by convenience sampling method and participants answered the 7-item Generalized Anxiety Scale (Spitzer et al., 2006), the Self-talk Scale (Brinthaupt et al.., 2009) and the Padua Inventory–Washington State University Revision (Burns et al.., 1996). Findings were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance and multivariate analysis of variance. The results showed a significant difference in frequency between the normal group and clinical groups. Also, the research findings showed a significant difference between the normal group and clinical groups in the negative subscales of inner speech content (self-criticism and social assessment) and not the positive subscales (self-regulation and self-reinforcement).

Failure in emotional regulation process was reported as a major problem in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). In the emotional schema therapy (EST), the roles of emotions and emotion processing strategies are substantial. This study aimed at determining the effectiveness of EST in emotional schema (ES) of women with OCD. It was a quasi-experimental study. The statistical population included all women visiting consulting centers in Nishabur in 2014-2015. The research sample consisted of 20 patients with OCD (10 persons as the intervention group and 10 persons in the waiting list), selected using convenience sampling technique. The intervention group received a two-hour per week for 12 sessions. The research instrument included Yale–Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale and Leahy Emotional Schema Scale. Data were analyzed with ANCOVA. Results from data analysis suggested a significance difference between the intervention and control groups in terms of Validity, Comprehensibility, Guilt, Higher Values, Control, Numbness , Duration, Consensus, Expression and Blame; whereas, the two groups were not significantly different in terms of Simplistic View of Emotion, Rational, Acceptance of Feelings and Rumination. In general, results of this study show that EST has positive effect on the reduction of OCD and can be used as an effective method in correcting several emotional schemas in women with OCD.

In recent years, experts in the field of obsessive-compulsive disorder are trying to measure and compare the validity and efficiency of psychological interventions and drug therapy. In this regard, a meta-analysis integrating results of different researches demonstrates the effect size of treatments.
This study aims to study the impact of psychological interventions and drug therapy on reducing symptoms of obsessive-compulsive patients. For this purpose, 40 accepted researches were selected and meta-analysis was performed on them. Research instrument was a checklist of meta-analysis.The effect size of psychological interventions on reducing obsessive-compulsive symptoms was 1/88( p ≤ 0.001) and for drug therapy 1/11 (p ≤ 0.001).
According to Cohen's effect size, psychological interventions and drug therapy have a high impact on reducing symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
