There is a complex and unique disorder.

Lack of formal definition of the diagnostic criteria, deficits of applied research, and faulty case conceptualization are some of the factors that have made previous treatments useless. With the recent release of the DSM-5, appropriate clinical treatment interventions can now be guided by these revisions. Mental health care providers are vastly unprepared to treat this rapidly growing and misunderstood population because of the constant increase of media attention. Recent research findings have proved that hoarding is not a symptom of OCD and has led to the latest DSM-5 revisions. Patients who are obsessive do not respond to psychotherapies like those used for other OCD manifestations. A multimodal cognitive-behavioral and medication approach has been shown to have a better success rate in the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Participants can learn treatment strategies that improve patient outcomes from this recording. The course work looked at the similarities and differences of the two disorders. This recording shows both assessment and interventions, as well as case studies that show the findings and prepare you to help your clients. Adults benefit from videos, group exercises and adult learning methods. This is a great opportunity to take advantage of.
