Cognitive Behavioral Treatment of Adolescents with OCD
with Daniela Owen, PhD
June 14th, 2012 at Alliant International University
6:30-7pm Networking, 7-9pm Presentation
Exposure with response prevention is the evidence-based cognitive behavioral treatment for adolescents with OCD. This presenter will briefly present the evidence basis of using exposure with response prevention to treat adolescents with OCD. Clinicians will learn how to create an exposure hierarchy, some key elements of effective exposure practice, a few strategies to reduce/prevent compulsions or rituals, and how to talk about treatment of OCD to help adolescents engage in and comply with treatment. This presenter will also address some common problems that occur in treatment, including reassurance-seeking, poor parental participation, and lack of compliance with between session prolonged exposure practice.
