This presentation reviews the diagnostic criteria and clinical presentations of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

Successful treatment relies on effective interventions and creative clinicians. Interventions and treatments for clients with OCD involve cognitive behavioral strategies including hierarchy development and Exposure and Response Prevention. Also addressed will be the importance and rationale of the subjective units of distress scale (SUDS) as part of hierarchy development and E/RP.
COURSE OBJECTIVES

2) Identify the boundaries of your own therapeutic approach
3) Identify the various forms of self-disclosure
4) Develop ways to thoughtfully manage the uses of self-disclosure
