Kyle P. Jones, PhD and Magdalene Holtam, PhD present a live virtual professional training program on Improving OCD Treatment: Basics and Beyond.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is the 4th most common mental illness. Patients who struggle with OCD can experience high functional impairment and poor quality of life. A specific form of CBT, called Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy, has been found to be an effective treatment for OCD. ERP methods coupled with powerful motivational tools can help OCD sufferers live a happier and more fulfilling life. You will learn: how to assess OCD, how to explain OCD to your patients, tools to enhance motivation in your patients, and effective exposure methods for OCD. During this course, you will have opportunities for practice via live role-plays.
This training is intended for Mental Health professionals at any stage of their career working in a clinical setting where they provide psychotherapy. Clinicians could be in solo or group private practice, working with an agency, or delivering psychotherapy as a part of a larger health system.
