For Adults with OCD

OCD therapists Dr Emily O’Leary and Dr Daphne Bryan have developed a workbook for adults with OCD (18+). Emily and Daphne have been working together at the OCD Clinic for many years. Collectively, they provide supervision, training, and research in this area nationally and internationally.

Dr Emily O’Leary and Dr Daphne Bryan from the ODC Clinic Brisbane have developed a workbook for adults with OCD. You will receive your own digital copy in addition to 11 training videos which can be worked through at your own pace.

The workbook includes:

• How to assess and diagnose OCD accurately, and why it matters
• How to formulate using the cognitive appraisal model
• How to start to tackle “stuckness” and rigidity.
• What techniques may be most helpful when.
• Traditional and Modern Exposure practices

How can I use the workbook?

The workbook will be delivered electronically following payment. You will receive 11 sessions and 11 pre-recording instructional videos explaining how to use the workbook with your clients.

You have permission to use this workbook with your clients and for your own personal use (refer terms and conditions).

The workbook equates to a total of 8 active CPD points

For Clinicians & Consultants

This workshop can be customized or delivered in conjunction with the OCD Workbook.

OCD is associated with significant impairment in functioning, quality of life and disability. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment may improve outcomes. Despite OCD being a common mental illness, most seek treatment after several years of struggling. Many individuals who experience OCD tend to be secretive about their symptoms due to shame and embarrassment. Less than a third of people with OCD receive appropriate pharmacotherapy and even less receive evidence-based psychotherapy. This workshop will provide one avenue to provide an evidenced based program your clients can work through with you.

This workshop will outline an evidenced based program your clients can work through with you. Teaching modalities will include case studies and group work. A range of contemporary ACT strategies will be demonstrated, and participants will have the opportunity to raise examples from their own practice. In addition to workshop slides, participants will be supplied electronic copies of the client workbook for use in clinical practice.

Learning Objectives

Describe
The cognitive model underlying the processes that contribute to the onset and maintenance of OCD (based on research evidence), as well as the implications for treatment.

Develop
A case formulation for individual clients who meet criteria for OCD diagnosis, including the factors that contribute to the maintenance of OCD for these clients.

Differentiate
Between “content” and “process” of OCD relevant cognitions through your own “toolbox” using more contemporary ACT techniques.

Utilise
A range of behavioural experiments and exposure protocols to get more “bang for your buck” with exposure work.

Greater
Confidence as a therapist in delivering treatment to adults with OCD by avoiding falling into the pitfalls of circular arguments and covert reassurance.
