$119.99   $34 – New Perspectives on OCD – Sally Winston and Martin Seif

Almost everything we learned about obsessive-compulsive disorder prior to 2000 was just plain wrong: it’s not rare, obvious, hard to treat, or a manifestation of deep underlying conflict.

We now know it’s common, often unrecognized, and that it’s far more helpful to treat what maintains the symptoms rather than what lies “underneath.” What brings relief for clients is not insight into the origins or meanings of issues, but rather a systematic change in their reactions to disturbing thoughts, feelings, anxiety, and arousal.

This workshop will bring you up to date on contemporary thinking and treatment of OCD and OCD spectrum disorders.

1. Identify and uncover subtle or hidden OCD in a clinical setting.
2. Explain the rationale for effective treatment that may seem counterintuitive to the client.
3. Focus attention on mechanisms that maintain and exacerbate symptoms of OCD and OCD spectrum disorders.
4. Practice skills at treatment planning for OCD and OCD spectrum disorders, including exposure and response prevention, and metacognitive approaches.
