The effectiveness of routinely delivered cognitive behavioural therapy within a publicly funded clinic for adults with obsessive-compulsive disorder (Sheffield Health and Social Care Trust Psychotherapy Service) was examined and compared with the outcomes reported in randomised controlled trials for the same population. Research data was collected from 37 clients at the clinic, and the comparison randomised controlled trials were identified using a systematic review methodology. The results showed that the mean change in Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale score before and after therapy in the Sheffield clinic was 10.2, which fell within the benchmarks derived from the included randomised controlled trials.
