Overview:
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD) are frequently misunderstood and often confused due to overlapping themes of rigidity and control. However, these two conditions have distinct clinical profiles, diagnostic criteria, and treatment approaches.
This training webinar is designed for mental health professionals seeking to deepen their understanding of OCD and OCPD, refine their assessment strategies, and apply evidence-based interventions tailored to each disorder. Through case examples, diagnostic distinctions, and interactive discussions, participants will gain practical tools for differential diagnosis and treatment planning. Special emphasis will be placed on cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure and response prevention (ERP), schema therapy, and addressing challenges in therapeutic engagement.
Objectives:
- Differentiate between OCD and OCPD in terms of symptoms, personality traits, and diagnostic criteria.
- Identify key assessment tools and strategies for accurate diagnosis of OCD and OCPD.
- Describe the core cognitive and behavioral features driving each disorder.
- Apply evidence-based treatment approaches, including ERP for OCD and CBT/schema therapy for OCPD.
- Develop effective strategies for managing treatment resistance and fostering therapeutic engagement.
