Daring to Challenge OCD
Daring to Challenge OCD: Overcome Your Fear of Treatment & Take Control of Your Life Using Exposure and Response Prevention. By Joan Davidson. Foreword by Jeff Bell. 2014. New Harbinger Publications. Clients with OCD know how debilitating their condition can be but may feel reluctant to start treatment due to fears and misconceptions regarding therapy— particularly exposure and response prevention (ERP) therapy. ERP is a proven-effective treatment that can help people with OCD break free from the constraints of their disorder; however, starting treatment can feel frightening. Many people wonder what treatment will be like and how they will ever face some of their worst fears. They want to hear from others who have successfully completed therapy. In Daring to Challenge OCD, anxiety specialist Joan Davidson, PhD, gives a thorough overview of ERP, what to expect during treatment, and offers gentle guidance to help clients finally overcome the common fears and obstacles that can stand in the way of getting the help they need. Three clients with different OCD symptoms share their personal stories and insights about OCD and treatment. This book will demystify treatment for OCD so clients can face their fears and start changing their life. If you are a therapist helping clients build motivation to engage in ERP, this book offers real treatment stories and exercises for clients, making it an invaluable resource for therapists and wonderful suggested reading for clients building motivation to commit to treatment. If you are a therapist interested in learning about ERP for OCD, this book provides an excellent starting point. You will gain an understanding of the mechanisms underlying OCD, learn strategies to help clients determine if treatment is worth it for them, understand what to consider when setting up successful ERP practices, and develop ideas for helping clients overcome obstacles they may face during treatment. Through treatment stories of real patients, therapists are given the unique opportunity to learn about what transpires in therapy offices of clinicians who successfully guide their patients toward recovery. “Practical and matter-of-fact, yet simultaneously deep and compassionate, Daring to Challenge OCD is made-to-order for anyone plagued by obsessions and compulsions, including family members and loved ones. Loaded with wisdom, science, and clear case examples, it authoritatively documents what OCD is and how to treat it. To my mind, this is the go-to book on the topic across the entire field. Run, don’t walk, to get this book and read it!” —Stephen P. Hinshaw, PhD., professor of psychology at the University of California, Berkeley, and vice-chair of psychology in the department of psychiatry at University of California, San Francisco,
The Transdiagnostic Road Map to Case Formulation and Treatment Planning
The Transdiagnostic Road Map to Case Formulation & Treatment Planning: Practical Guidance for Clinical Decision Making. Authors: Rochelle Frank, Ph.D. & Joan Davidson, Ph.D. Foreword by Jacqueline B. Persons. 2014. New Harbinger Publications. About the book: Clinical research over the last few decades has given rise to a greater understanding of the psychological mechanisms that underlie many emotional and behavioral disorders. Evidence now suggests that transdiagnostic approaches—rather than protocols that focus on a singular diagnosis—can greatly improve treatment outcomes. If you are interested in treating patients with symptoms that span different diagnostic categories, this book is an extremely important addition to your professional library. This breakthrough guide provides a compass for navigating both simple and complex cases to arrive at a more effective, individualized type of treatment planning—one that is tailored to your client’s specific needs. This transdiagnostic approach focuses on the mechanisms that underlie client symptoms, and offers a departure from traditional treatments relying on DSM categorization and provides mental health professionals with essential tools for treating a broad range of client problems. Finally, it builds on existing case formulation approaches by bridging research on psychological mechanisms with practical steps for assessment and treatment. “Amid today’s flood of books and cacophony of webinars and podcasts, Frank and Davidson’s sage advice stands out in this unique text on transdiagnostic road maps. This book is well written with clinical acumen and a solid link to the empirical literature on comorbidity. It should be required reading for all students, clinicians, and researchers in the field. I highly recommend it!” —Frank M. Dattilio, PhD, ABPP, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA
