SESSION III: Treating Pediatric OCD
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) in children and teens can lead to serious social, behavioral, and learning problems. Due to a wide range of symptoms, OCD can frequently be both baffling and complex for clinicians to assess and treat. Yet, with early recognition and effective exposure-based cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), up to 80% of those affected can successfully manage OCD. Unfortunately, many do not receive CBT, due in part to a shortage of clinicians with expertise in treating OCD in children and teens. Moreover, the inherently counterintuitive nature of exposure may make children and teens reluctant to engage in treatment.
This lecture presents a child-friendly CBT approach to treating OCD in children and teens. It highlights the importance of cultivating treatment readiness prior to treatment, and offers systematic steps to optimize readiness and compliance with treatment. It offers clinicians with a practical and structured method for the application of exposure treatment for children and teens with OCD.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
After this lecture, registrants will be able to:
1. Recognize reluctance in children, teens, and therapists and the importance of addressing it prior to treatment.
2. Describe a systematic and proactive clinical approach to cultivate treatment readiness.
3. Explain a child-friendly approach to exposure-based treatment OCD.
SESSION IV: Working With Families and Treatment Refusal
Families are the forgotten victims of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), especially when the individual affected is unwilling to seek help. Clinicians typically have little to offer these families, believing nothing can be done until the individual’s motivation for treatment changes. This presentation will describe Family Well-Being Consultation (FWBC), an approach developed to help families of individuals with OCD who do not seek recovery. Participants in this workshop will learn the family interaction patterns typically surrounding treatment-refusal, methods for assessing family interaction patterns, and a treatment model developed to improve family functioning and promote treatment-seeking. The presentation will use a combination of lecture, slides, demonstrations, and case discussion.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
After this lecture, registrants will be able to:
1. Define the concept of recovery avoidance.
2. Describe two types of family responses that reinforce recovery avoidance.
3. Articulate the critical concepts and assumptions of Family Well-Being Consultation.
Target Audience
This activity is intended for physicians, nurses, psychologists, social workers, counselors, therapists and other mental health professionals.
