Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a serious and debilitating condition. It is also highly heterogeneous and there are multiple identifiable etiological factors that contribute to its onset and maintenance. One factor that has recently gained attention is the co-occurrence of OCD and trauma. Until recently, the research has suggested that although rare, when these two conditions were present together, treatment outcome was poorer, due to a seeming synergistic relationship between the two (i.e., alleviate symptoms in one and the other worsens). This webinar will introduce attendees to concepts related to OCD and trauma, separately and together, cover areas of assessment and how to conceptualize these challenging cases. It will include recent clinically significant research areas such as how moral injury may contribute to specific OCD symptoms and how fear of harming others may be particularly salient with OCD co-occurs with trauma. The webinar will conclude with recommendations for how to develop evidence-based methods of intervention.
Objective 1: Attendees will learn the connection between OCD and trauma
Objective 2: Attendees will be able to define key concepts associated with the conjoint presentation of OCD and trauma
Objective 3: Attendees will understand the conceptual model to develop treatment plans for clients with concurrent OCD and trauma.
