The treatment of cleanliness? Psychotherapy?

summary

In life, we often meet some people who love "clean". Some of their life details are difficult for others to get close to them, which affects mutual communication to a certain extent. So how to treat the symptoms of cleanliness addiction in life? Let's learn together.

The treatment of cleanliness? Psychotherapy?

First: drug treatment. If cleanliness is serious to obsessive-compulsive disorder, psychotherapy is the main treatment, supplemented by drug treatment.

Second: systematic desensitization therapy. Ask the patients to write down the things they are afraid of, the scenes and the things they often do from mild to severe, and then control their behavior from the easiest things every day, such as gradually reducing the frequency and time of washing hands.

Third: full irrigation therapy. Let the patient sit in the room and ask his friends or relatives to be assistants. The patient's whole body relaxed, eyes closed gently, and then asked the assistant to apply various liquids on the patient's hands, such as water, ink, rice soup, oil, dye, etc. During the application, the patient should try to relax, and the assistant should try to use words to describe the hand is dirty. Patients should be patient as much as possible, until they can't bear to open their eyes to see how dirty it is. The assistant should use transparent liquid and opaque liquid at random, and clean water and other liquids at random. In this way, when the patient opens his eyes, his hands are not dirty, at least not as dirty as he imagined. This is a shock to the patient's mind, indicating that "dirty" often comes from his own ideas, which is not consistent with the actual situation. When the patient finds that his hands are really dirty, the impulse to wash hands will be greatly enhanced. At this time, the treatment assistant must prohibit him from washing hands, which is the key to treatment. The patient will feel very painful, but we should try to stick to it, and the assistant should actively give encouragement.
