Abstract
Objectives: This family therapy case study aims to explore the factors that contributed to obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), intervention approaches used by the family therapist and the effectiveness of treatment. Method: This study employed a case study method and used thematic analysis and a matrix approach in data analysis. Results: Contributors to the development of OCD were triggering, individual, familial, and environmental factors. The therapist's interventions included analyzing the familial factors, promoting the awareness of the parents' dysfunctional communication patterns transmitted from the family of origin, helping the client express the repressed emotions, resolving misunderstandings among family members, and practicing effective communication strategies. Conclusion: This study identified the factors related to OCD from a family systems perspective and explored specific family therapy interventions used by the therapist.
