OCD Diagnosis & Assessment

ABOUT THS COURSE:

This course will provide clinicians with the tools to conduct a thorough OCD assessment.

We’ll review both common and lesser-known OCD subtypes, walking through obsessional content and examples of common compulsions. The training will also cover objective measures used to screen and evaluate for OCD. Clinicians will walk away with a solid understanding of OCD presentations, paving the way to effective case conceptualization and treatment design.
