An estimated 2-3% of the population is affected by
obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). This is a chronic condition
that significantly affects daily functioning and quality of life.
Many people with OCD would greatly benefit from receiving
professional help to learn how to successfully manage this
debilitating condition. This workbook aims to guide patients of
obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in how to best benefit from the
treatment provided by their therapists. Treatments addressed in
this publication include exposure and ritual (response) prevention,
an effective, evidence-based treatment for this disorder.
Designed to be used in conjunction with its companion therapist
guide titled Exposure and Ritual (Response) Prevention for
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, thisWorkbook includes an exposure
and ritual prevention treatment program which is broken down into
17 - 20 biweekly treatment sessions. During these sessions the
patient will be gradually exposed to situations and places that
trigger his or her OCD symptoms. The goal is that over time the OCD
sufferer comes to realize that the things he or she fears will not
necessarily occur if the rituals are not performed. Some exposures
will be supervised by the therapist, but the workbook can help the
patient to practice on their own at home in order to overcome some
of the barriers and difficulties that are part and parcel of every
treatment.
"Exposure and ritual (response) prevention (EX/RP) is the best
treatment we have for obsessive compulsive disorder. The Therapist
Guide and Workbook by Foa, Yadin, and Licher will do two very
important things. The first is to make EX/RP much more available to
people suffering from OCD. The second is to help ensure that the
treatment that is made more available is a treatment that should
really work."--Michael R. Liebowitz M.D., Professor of Clinical
Psychiatry, Columbia University and Former Director, Anxiety
Disorders Clinic, New York State Psychiatric Institute
"In this well-organized and succinct manual, leading experts
describe exposure and ritual (response) prevention (EX/RP), a
proven first-line treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder
(OCD). They detail how to evaluate clients for EX/RP treatment,
provide session-by-session instructions for treatment delivery, and
offer invaluable advice on handling problems like patient
nonadherence. This outstanding therapist manual, together with its
accompanying client workbook, provides state-of-the-art tools for
transforming the lives of people with OCD."--H. Blair Simpson, M.D.
Ph.D., Professor of Clinical Psychiatry, Columbia University
Director of the Anxiety Disorders Clinic and the OCD Research
Program at the New York State Psychiatric Institute
"A concise, up-to-date, and extremely useful clinical guide to
understanding and treating people struggling with OCD.
State-of-the-art essentials for how to provide the most effective
intervention for this often difficult to treat condition are
covered in a clear and practical manner that is certain to
facilitate positive outcomes."--Jonathan S. Abramowitz, Ph.D.,
ABPP, Professor of Psychology, University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill and Editor-in-Chief, Journal of Obsessive-Compulsive
and Related Disorders
