Description
Once thought to be a rare psychiatric illness, obsessive-compulsive disorder is now recognized to be quite common, numbering between 3 and 4 million Americans. Although they are not as well known as OCD, several other disorders share significant characteristics with it, and are now considered as part of the obsessive-compulsive spectrum. These include body dysmorphic disorder, hypochondriasis, as well as impulse control disorders such as trichotillomania and compulsive skin-picking.
The primary purpose of this workshop is to familiarize attendees with OCD and several of the OC Spectrum disorders, to review cognitive and behavioral manifestations of each, and to thoroughly explore forms of treatment. Specifically, medication, individual and group cognitive therapy and behavior therapy in the forms of exposure and response prevention and habit reversal training will be highlighted. Considerations for differential diagnosis, co-morbid disorders, and resources for support will also be addressed. The workshop is designed for clinicians with direct client contact, such as social workers, marriage and family therapists, nurses, and psychologists, as well as school personnel.
