Please Support Our Work
We are pleased to provide the MCT materials—such as manuals, slides, and worksheets—free of charge. However, to help us continue and expand this work, we kindly ask for your support. We suggest a donation of $35/35€ for individuals or $100/100€ for institutions. Click here to donate.
Your generosity enables us to regularly update and expand the MCT materials, conduct rigorous scientific evaluations, and translate the program into additional languages—allowing more people worldwide to access effective, low-threshold support.
You can donate online via this link. For details on how contributions are used, please see here. We are happy to provide an official donation receipt upon request.
Please note that we have also developed certified e-trainings for MCT for psychosis (www.uke.de/e-mct) and D-MCT for depression (www.uke.de/e-dmct) for therapists. For an e-learning on body-focused repetitive behaviors, see www.uke.de/e-bfrb-training.

Please help us to help others!
Recognizing the difficult financial situation of many people suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), we offer this manual and other treatment programs we have developed free of charge. Moreover, it is our explicit goal to evaluate and further improve myMCT by continuing scientific research. However, research is expensive. We therefore rely on federal funding and donations. If you would like to support us in providing free treatment materials to people with psychological disorders, we would be very grateful. We will of course provide these materials to you at no cost whether or not you make a donation.
No one should feel morally obligated to donate! Donations will be used to further develop myMCT. Upcoming projects include translation of our manuals into other languages, improvements of the manual, and payment of staff members who conduct research studies. If needed for tax purposes, we are happy to send you a receipt (please send an email to Steffen Moritz (moritz@uke.de) and include your postal address and full name). Donations may be made to the account below or online. Please inquire about different possibilities for sponsorship. Please donate to the following account (tax certificates will be issued on request):
