comment
The book The Mind and the Brain - Neuroplasticity and the power of mental force by J. Schwartz examines alternate methods of OCD treatment, so this article is not quite accurate in saying that "exposure and response" is the only method of treatment. --BranePan23 23:39, 31 October 2006 (UTC)


 * It's certainly the best attested method, and the British National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) recommends it as the treatment of choice. What I find more worrying is that this page isn't about ERP, it's about Exposure - if no-one objects I'm going to put up a page on Exposure, and rewrite this one to focus on ERP.  - Alec.brady 17:03, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Please refer to...
This line near the end: "Please refer to the Obsessive Compulsive Disorder article for elaboration on ERP and its effectiveness." has me really confused. Why should a reader go to another article on a different subject, if he wanted to read about ERP? If anything, the article on OCD should refer to this one! Since I know pretty much squat about psychology, I don't know what parts could be excised from the article on OCD, to be pasted in this one, but I hope someone else is able. Or, hell, write the pertinent info themselves! 88.85.54.87 (talk) 15:31, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

To be revised
Hello, I will be elaborating on some of the most recent research related to ERP, reorganize the article so that sections are readily accessible (and easier for people to skim subheadings), and also revising some of the language to make it more digestible. If you have any specific suggestions in addition to eliminating the need to "refer to" another source for comprehensive information on ERP (as suggested above), please respond here and I'll do my best. Thank you. Jjk016 (talk) 00:22, 13 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Do not repeat the article on OCD here. All encyclopedias refer to other articles within the encyclopedia all the time; WP does as well. Jytdog (talk) 11:14, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

Suggested merge with Exposure Therapy
Hello, I understand that the ERP page was merged with the exposure therapy page yesterday because a user felt that the ERP page was too similar to the ET page. Since there are many valuable distinctions between ERP and ET, I think it's important that this page remain a separate resource that helps people understand the function of ERP and some recent work that's been done in the area. I am currently working on those edits and as that you keep the ERP page distinct from the ET page for now so that you can review revisions. I am very open to suggestions and edits, but implore you help keep the information regarding ERP distinctive rather than merging it with ET. Thank you! Jjk016 (talk) 04:29, 17 November 2016 (UTC)
 * In this kind of situation, the best thing to do is expand the content at Exposure therapy and if - if - it turns out it needs to be split back out we can do that then.  This article as it stood almost entirely duplicated the other. Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 04:33, 17 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Reading the Exposure Therapy page, it does seem that ERP would be distinct. Especially considering the substantial information that could be added about augmentations with ERP and different examples that could be given on how ERP functions. I suggest we keep ERP separate to see how the ERP page can be expanded and then you can merge it in later if you think its best. 04:58, 17 November 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jjk016 (talk • contribs)
 * That is not now things are done here but, whatever.
 * I have removed all the content that violated content policies and guidelines.
 * Read WP:MEDRS and follow it in edits you make in the future.
 * I will remove anything that is badly sourced or unsourced.
 * If you try to force badly sourced or unsourced content back into this article after it has been removed you will end up blocked.  Jytdog (talk) 05:25, 17 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I'll note that the APA guideline is a nine year old ref and normally we would not use it per WP:MEDDATE, but it is an APA treatment guideline - an important kind of source per MEDRS - so it can stay. I checked and do not see that they have a more current one.  Maybe they do and I missed it. Jytdog (talk) 11:16, 17 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I also was not able to find anything more recent. I think this is the standing practice guideline. Do you still feel that ERP should redirect to ET? Jjk016 (talk) 17:48, 18 November 2016 (UTC)
