DESCRIPTION
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a common and often misunderstood mental health disorder that affects millions of people around the world. This course will present practitioners with specific diagnostic features of OCD (Abramowitz & Jacoby, 2015; APA, 2022; Hunt, 2020) as well as assessment measures (Abramowitz et al., 2010; Goodman et al., 1989) in order to help them accurately recognize and diagnose OCD. Having the ability to identify and describe common features of OCD will assist practitioners in providing more informed care. We will explore common myths (Winston & Seif, 2017) and counterproductive techniques (Clark & Purdon, 2009; Najmi, Riemann, & Wegner, 2009) that reinforce OCD. Cognitive-behavioral models and case conceptualization will be described enabling practitioners to better support their client through evidence-based treatment. A variety of cognitive-behavioral strategies showing empirical effectiveness in reducing OCD symptoms will be highlighted (Clark, 2020; Hershfield, 2018; Najmi, Riemann, & Wegner, 2009; Tolin, 2008; Twohig, 2009; Winston & Seif, 2017) giving practitioners useful treatment approaches to inform their practice.
