| COGNITIVE
BEHAVIOURAL THERAPY FOR OCD
Treatment
across thedevelopmental spectrum |
This
intensive two-day professional training workshop on empirically supported, up-to-date
therapeutic and treatment strategies in Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) will be presented by Bradley Drake and Jaco
Rossouw in Cape Town on the 8th and 9th of October of 2010.
OCD has the
potential to be a debilitating condition that typically presents across all age
groups. The effective treatment of OCD using CBT, or CBT in combination with medication
is well documented and CBT is the prescribed treatment in practice guidelines
for OCD in the UK (www.nice.org.uk),
the USA (www.psych.org)
and the Netherlands (www.trimbos.nl).
Non-CBT psychotherapy interventions for OCD could well be considered to not be
in line with best practice guidelines.
This highly informative and practical
2-day workshop will provide delegates with a thorough CBT conceptualisation of
OCD. Recent theory will be presented together with hands-on treatment guidelines
for the management of OCD in children (younger than eight), older children and
young adolescents as well as adults. This workshop aims to provide psychotherapists
with the most up-to-date information on the theoretical conceptualisation and
treatment of OCD. The cornerstone of behavioural intervention (exposure and response
prevention, ERP) as originated by Foa, will be comprehensively covered. Cognitive
models and associated interventions, based largely on the work of Rachman and
Salkovskis will follow.
A strong emphasis on treatment and experiential
learning with regards to cognitive restructuring and behavioural intervention
will be employed. Video demonstration, live interviews and practical role plays
will be used throughout the workshop. Several assessment scales and treatment
aids will also be made available.
The workshop therefore aims to cover
assessment, functional analysis and conceptualisation and CBT intervention strategies.
A specific focus on flexibly applying and adapting intervention for various OCD
themes including contamination (physical/mental), checking and so-called "pure
obsessions" (aggression/sexual/moral-religious) will be employed for both
adults and children.
It is the goal of the workshop to assist clinicians to
be able to effectively implement up-to-date interventions.
