Basic etiology of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and clarity about research-based treatment options

Interview with Elizabeth Irias, LMFT

  • Course Description

    OCD can be difficult to clinically recognize; its manifestations can be subtle. Listeners will learn the most common sub-types of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), a primer on the treatment of OCD, and the research behind its treatment. This interview will provide common roadblocks to OCD treatment and recovery and help therapists identify how OCD shows up in the therapy room. Listeners will also learn core treatment concepts that will help inform OCD treatment through various stages of recovery.
