DKK 1.2 million for OCD treatment study

Mental Health Services will study whether cognitive behavioural therapeutic group treatment of children and adolescents with OCD is just as effective as individual treatment.

At the Centre for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Risskov, Professor Per Hove Thomsen and psychologist and PhD student Katja Hybel have received DKK 800,000 from the Jascha Foundation, as well as DKK 440,000 from the Central Denmark Region's Health Science Research Foundation. The funding is to be used for a study to compare effect and quality of life for children and adolescents with OCD who receive cognitive behavioural therapeutic treatment in groups rather than individual treatment.
