Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder And Exposure With Response Prevention (ERP)

In this training, participants will learn the psychopathology of OCD, how to diagnose OCD, and how to treat it using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). ERP is the “gold-standard" intervention for OCD that has five main components: in vivo exposure, imaginal exposure, ritual prevention, processing, and home visits.

In learning ERP, participants will learn the theory underlying the intervention and the empirical support for it. Participants will learn the basic techniques in ERP and how to apply these to their clinical population. Participants will learn how and when to modify these techniques based on patient needs. Participants will also receive an overview of “third-wave” treatments such as ACT and I-CBT.

6 CEs available to NYS LMHCs, LMFTs, LCSWs, LMSWs, LCATs, NYS Licensed Psychologists, and NYS Licensed Psychoanalysts provided by Hudson Valley Professional Development, LLC upon successful completion of training.
