This unique volume gives readers a front-row seat at an exciting
and crucial symposium.
Recent advances in theory and treatment have significantly
increased our understanding of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
Yet research on OCD generally falls in categories of either
behavioral or biological, and rarely do the two meet. Concepts and
Controversies in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder bridges this gap
admirably. Featuring an international panel of 42 experts, this
volume focuses in depth ona "and presents opposing viewpoints to a
"the seven conceptual and practical disputes that characterize the
field today:
- categorical versus dimensional perspectives on symptoms
- animal versus behavioral models
- single OCD entity versus OCD spectrum
- neuropsychiatric versus cognitive-behavioral models
- cognitive therapy versus exposure therapy
- self-directed versus therapist-directed treatment
- medication versus cognitive-behavioral therapy
These issues are presented in a debate format, with each side
contributing a position paper on the topic, followed by a rebuttal
from the opposite perspective. To further enrich the debate, timely
chapters examine special areas such as sexual addictions, body
dysmorphic disorder, trichotillomania, Tourettea (TM)s syndrome,
and compulsive shopping in the context of OCD.
This level of discussion and argument, with its possibility for
collaboration and integration, makes Concepts and Controveries of
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder unique and productive reading for
students, researchers, and therapists of all orientations as they
design the next generation of theory and greater nuances of
treatment.
