OCD Across the Lifespan - Cognitive Behavioral Interventions

This course will cover the differential diagnosis of OCD from related and frequently comorbid disorders (e.g., GAD and PTSD) as well as cognitive-behavioral case conceptualization and intervention for OCD across the lifespan. We will discuss how these interventions may need be modified to account for the presence of comorbid conditions. There will also be a brief overview of managing family accommodation behaviors for individuals with OCD.
