The Effectiveness of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy Based on God-Like, Self-Like and Hereafter-Like Assumptions on the Identity of Obsessive-Incontinence Disorder: a Case Study

This study aims at introducing a pattern of cognitive-behavioral therapy based on religious presuppositions of improving God-like and self-like assumptions as an introduction and important ground for improving God-like and hereafter-like assumptions and analyzing its effectiveness on reducing obsessive-incontinence disorder. In a single-case project, the process of treatment was done for two male patients. The participants were analyzed Yael Brown obsessive-incontinence disorder scale as a dependent variable, in four stages including; pre-treatment stage (base line), tenth session, last session (twentieth session) and three months after treatment (follow up). According to Yael Brown scale, the first participant`s score decreased from 27 in the pre-treatment stage to 6 and second participant`s score from 18 to 0. Therefore, the cognitive-behavioral therapy based on God-like religious assumptions, self-like and hereafter-like assumptions contribute to reducing obsessive-incontinence disorder.
