This workshop provides a comprehensive overview of Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) treatment for mental health clinicians working with adult OCD clients. Dr. Gayle Maloney, Director and Principal Clinical Psychologist at Perth OCD Clinic in Australia, and Associate Clinical Professor at the Yale OCD Research Clinic, will provide practical clinical skills to guide you through a detailed treatment protocol for ERP. The workshop consists of 12 modules of pre-recorded didactic content, role-play videos demonstrating clinical skills and worksheets, totalling 7 hours of CPD.
The training modules cover assessment, diagnosis, clinical features, subtypes of OCD, case formulation, personalised OCD models, psycho-education, cognitive interventions, and mindfulness-based strategies. The focus will be on developing individualised, values-based ERP hierarchies with corresponding response plans. The workshop also includes advanced topics in OCD, such as the clinical application of ERP treatment through in-depth case studies of adult OCD sufferers with different subtypes of OCD, designing and implementing imaginal exposure, identifying treatment-resistant OCD and treatment sequencing considerations, addressing beliefs related to perfectionism/self-worth, relapse prevention, and common hurdles. Furthermore, a webinar by Dr. Christopher Pittenger (MD & PhD; Professor of Psychiatry at Yale OCD Research Clinic) providing an overview of the neurobiology and pharmacotherapy treatment for OCD is included. The training modules are provided for a three-month duration to ensure you can learn at your own pace.
