Abstract
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) focused on religious themes, also known as scrupulosity, is a relatively common but poorly understood form of this disorder. It also presents unique challenges to the therapist who must negotiate the procedures of exposure and response prevention while respecting the patient’s religious beliefs and practices. Garcia (2008) describes the successful treatment of Bridget, a 21-year-old woman with scrupulosity, using cognitive-behavioral therapy. Following resolution of her OCD symptoms, a second treatment phase targeted several more interpersonal problems using an integrated cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic approach. This commentary reviews the nature of religion in OCD, the utility of functional analysis and case formulation, issues in the delivery of cognitive and behavioral techniques in OCD, working with religious compulsions, and the integration of cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic approaches in the second phase of Bridget’s treatment.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
