Presented at ACBS World Conference 13, Berlin, Germany, 2015
There is a vast amount of new information on the treatment of OCD and related disorders (e.g., skin picking and trichotillomania). A lot of this information involves looking at the obsessions and related inner experiences functionally rather than topographically. A handful of treatments (e.g., ACT, DBT, metacognitive therapy) are showing a greater focus in this area and are showing success in the treatments of these disorders. This workshop will present the most up to date data on these newer treatments for OCD and related disorders. Participants will learn how to conceptualize cases from this approach as well as some of the most useful treatment techniques. The training will involve a mix of didactic, experiential, and role play.
