It is known that OCD deeply affects not only biological and psychological aspects but also social functioning. In this context, psychosocial rehabilitation stands out as an important treatment approach for individuals to adapt to social life and increase their functioning. This review examines the role of psychosocial rehabilitation in the treatment of OCD, examines practices based on this approach, and evaluates its effectiveness. It discusses how methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, supportive group therapies, social skills training, and vocational rehabilitation programs applied within the scope of psychosocial rehabilitation have an effect on increasing individuals’ social functionality and managing their symptoms. In addition, the role of family and social support mechanisms in the treatment process is examined, and the factors that contribute to the individual’s psychosocial recovery process are detailed. It has been observed that psychosocial interventions increase individuals’ participation in daily life activities, strengthen their adaptation to society, and support their motivation for treatment. In addition, it is discussed how these rehabilitation methods provide complementary support to traditional pharmacological and psychotherapeutic approaches and provide sustainable recovery in the long term. Finally, recommendations are presented to further strengthen the place of psychosocial rehabilitation in OCD treatment, and in light of current research in this field, the development of more comprehensive and integrated intervention programs is emphasized.}, number={2}, publisher={Gaziantep İslam Bilim ve Teknoloji Üniversitesi}
