Inclusion Criteria

1. Meet diagnostic criteria for OCD (MINI 6.0.0 interview)
2. Have been stable on psychiatric medication for at least three months prior to the consent meeting, or not taking psychiatric medication for at least three months prior to the consent meeting
3. Have no plans for changes to psychiatric medication during the course of the study
4. Have not received psychological therapy in the past three months or to have any plans for psychological therapy during the course of the study
5. Be aged over 18 years of age

Exclusion Criteria

Exclusion criteria will be that participants will not have an identified organic cause for their OCD symptoms or a diagnosed learning disability. This will be ascertained through the care team. People will be excluded if they meet diagnostic criteria, based on the MINI interview, for; post-traumatic stress disorder, anorexia nervosa, an autistic spectrum disorder or a psychotic disorder.

To reflect the reality of mental health services and the co-morbidity of OCD with other anxiety disorders and with depressive disorders (NICE, 2005), co-morbidity with these conditions will not be an exclusion criterion. The exception to this is that people meeting diagnostic criteria for PTSD will be excluded given some concerns in the MBI literature about the offering MBIs to this population. People presenting with hoarding only compulsions will be excluded from the study, given the recent move to classify hoarding as a distinct condition from OCD (Pertusa et al, 2008).
