This seminar provides training in evidence-based strategies for assessing and treating obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), perfectionism, and related problems, with an emphasis on how to manage challenging cases. Participants will also learn about the latest approaches to treatment, including psychological treatments, pharmacological approaches, and new biomedical treatments, such as deep brain stimulation and d-cycloserine. Most of the workshop will focus on evidence-based psychological approaches to treating OCD and perfectionism. Participants will learn behavioural methods (e.g., exposure and response prevention) and cognitive approaches. Strategies for dealing with treatment resistance will be reviewed, as will approaches for treating compulsive hoarding. Strategies will be illustrated using videotaped therapy sessions, and participants will receive a detailed handout.
