Educational Objectives:

In this workshop, you will learn how to:

• Define the diagnostic criteria for OCD and understand how to tease out the subtypes that may or may not be presented by the client.
• Define the subtypes of OCD (Harm, Sexual Orientation, Relationship, Pedophilia, Perfectionism, and Contamination) and the idiosyncrasies of their presentations.
• Demonstrate the rationale and explain the use of ERP as the Gold Standard of treatment for OCD.
• Explain how to use ERP for all the OCD subtypes.
• Discuss the differences in ERP strategies for the most prevalent subtypes through case presentations with participants.

Workshop Description:

OCD is described by the World Health Organization as one of the most debilitating conditions in the world. Many clinicians state in their online profiles that they treat OCD, while most of them do not have any specialized training in OCD diagnosis or in the use of Exposure and Response Prevention therapy . To right this wrong, this talk will review what OCD is, how to go about making a diagnosis for OCD, and how to provide ERP for OCD. There will be a special focus on the various subtypes of OCD through case examples used for each of the common subtypes (Harm, Sexual Orientation, Relationship, Pedophilia, Perfectionism, and Contamination). The last part of this lecture will be case discussions with the participants from the live version of the presentation.
