ABSTRACT

Taking a Chinese college student with obsessive-compulsive disorder as the object, this paper analyzes and explains the occurrence, development and maintenance mechanism of the obsessive-compulsive symptoms from three theoretical models of cognitive behavior, psychoanalysis and human-centered. A total of 13 consulting practices were carried out. Building working alliances with human-centered idea, using relaxation training, mindfulness meditation, and rational emotional therapy to intervene, supplemented by explanations from a psychoanalytic perspective. The results showed that the client's obsessive-compulsive symptoms were relieved, the emotional distress level decreased, the self-satisfaction level increased, and the social function recovered. The results suggest that a variety of theoretical orientation integration models can effectively guide OCD case conceptualization and counseling practice.
