The purpose of this study was to explore experiences of clinical psychologists of Pakistan with Cognitive
Behavior Therapy (CBT) in dealing with patients of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), and to incorporate
their recommendations in indigenous therapeutic protocol of CBT for OCD patients of Pakistan. For this
purpose, in depth semi-structured one to one interviews, of one hour duration on an average, were conducted
with five professionally trained clinical psychologists working in public and private sectors. These recorded
interviews were analyzed employing thematic analysis to recognize and understand the answers of inquiry
questions. To ensure rigor in research, different validation strategies were employed. Study results revealed that
CBT professionals of Pakistan are following the western trends of CBT with slight modifications according to
the cultural, religious and educational aspects of patients thus acknowledging the role of culture, religion and
personal aspects in phenomenology, thought pattern and CBT management of individual OCD patients. This
study, by motivating researchers to study effectiveness of CBT in our culture, is hopefully opening the path
towards the bright future of CBT as an effective therapeutic approach in Pakistan.
