Exposure and Response Prevention

Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is a behavioral intervention designed to reduce anxiety and compulsive behaviors by having clients repeatedly confront feared situations or intrusive thoughts without engaging in safety behaviors or compulsions. Developed by Edna B. Foa and colleagues in the 1980s, ERP is now considered the gold-standard treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and is also highly effective for anxiety disorders, PTSD, and specific phobias.
