Course Overview

Both medication and therapy can be effective courses of treatment for OCD. CBT is considered a gold standard of treatment for OCD (Wu, Lang, & Zhang, 2016), and has been found to have similar effectiveness to SSRIs (Öst, Riise, Wergeland, Hansen, & Kvale, 2016). CBT for OCD also has a lower attrition rate than SSRIs (Öst, Riise, Wergeland, Hansen, & Kvale, 2016). In addition, exposure-based interventions trend towards greater effect sizes (Carpenter et al., 2018) and lower attrition than other CBT interventions (Johnco, McGuire, Roper, & Storch, 2020). In this training, participants will learn the psychopathology of OCD, how diagnose OCD, and how to treat OCD using Exposure and Response Prevention (EX/RP). EX/RP is a manualized CBT based intervention for OCD that has five main components: in vivo exposure, imaginal exposure, ritual prevention, processing, and home visits (Foa, Yadin, & Lichner, 2012). In learning EX/RP, participants will learn the theory underlying the intervention and the empirical support for it. Participants will learn the basic techniques in EX/RP and how to apply these to adults, adolescents and children. Participants will learn how and when to modify these techniques based on patient needs. Participants will learn through a variety of instructional methods, including through practice, videotaped sessions, case vignettes, and discussion. While researchers have identified that there is no meaningful difference between face-to-face treatment and remote treatment on outcomes for OCD (Wootton, 2016), issues related to delivering EX/RP remotely will be discussed.

Approvals

Cognitive Behavior Institute, #1771, is approved as an ACE provider to offer social work continuing education by the Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB) Approved Continuing Education (ACE) program. Regulatory boards are the final authority on courses accepted for continuing education credit. ACE provider approval period: 06/30/2022-06/30/2025. Social workers completing this course receive 27 clinical continuing education credits.

Cognitive Behavior Institute, LLC is recognized by the New York State Education Department's State Board for Psychology as an approved provider of continuing education for licensed psychologists #PSY-0098 and the State Board for Social Work as an approved provider of continuing education for licensed social workers #SW-0646 and the State Board for Mental Health Practitioners as an approved provider of continuing education for licensed mental health counselors #MHC-0216.

Cognitive Behavior Institute has been approved by NBCC as an Approved Continuing Education Provider, ACEP No. 7117. Programs that do not qualify for NBCC credit are clearly identified. Cognitive Behavior Institute is solely responsible for all aspects of the programs.

Cognitive Behavior Institute is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists. Cognitive Behavior Institute maintains responsibility for content of this program. Social workers, marriage and family therapists, and professional counselors in Pennsylvania can receive continuing education from providers approved by the American Psychological Association. Since CBI is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education, licensed social workers, licensed marriage and family therapists, and licensed professional counselors in Pennsylvania will be able to fulfill their continuing education requirements by attending CBI continuing education programs. For professionals outside the state of Pennsylvania, you must confirm with your specific State Board that APA approved CE's are accepted towards your licensure requirements. The Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB) has a process for approving individual programs or providers for continuing education through their Approved Continuing Education (ACE) program. ACE approved providers and individual courses approved by ASWB are not accepted by every state and regulatory board for continuing education credits for social workers. Every US state other than New York accepts ACE approval for social workers in some capacity: New Jersey only accepts individually approved courses for social workers, rather than courses from approved providers. The West Virginia board requires board approval for live courses, but accepts ASWB ACE approval for other courses for social workers. For more information, please see https://www.aswb.org/ace/ace-jurisdiction-map/. Whether or not boards accept ASWB ACE approved continuing education for other professionals such as licensed professional counselors or licensed marriage and family therapists varies by jurisdiction. To determine if a course can be accepted by your licensing board, please review your board’s regulations or contact them. State and provincial regulatory boards have the final authority to determine whether an individual course may be accepted for continuing education credit.
