Core Tip	Psychoeducation is a simple and effective treatment with proven efficacy in schizophrenia and mood disorders. Psychoeducation is a core component of cognitive-behavioural therapy or exposure and response prevention, which are the standard psychotherapeutic treatments for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). However, research on the benefits of psychoeducational treatments in OCD is limited compared to other disorders. Maladaptive family responses such as accommodation and antagonism are common in OCD and adversely influence its outcome. Family-based psychoeducation targeting these inappropriate family responses is a promising treatment for OCD, but there are methodological uncertainties. Thus, optimising psychoeducational treatments for OCD remains a challenge.
