Description

This talk will provide an overview of how to conceptualize and treat Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). We will look at various manifestations of OCD through case examples and use these to showcase information gathering essential to inform conceptualization and treatment. I will discuss how Intolerance of Uncertainty is the root of OCD and describe how to engage and motivate patients to embrace uncertainty and accept Exposure Response Prevention (ERP). I will lead participants in exposure exercises therapists can apply in person and virtually. We will discuss tracking progress, treatment challenges, and relapse prevention.
