Treating OCD during COVID-19 webinar: Part 3

This is the last in a series of three live, interactive webinar presentations (90 minutes each) which will focus on how best to deliver treatment of OCD across the developmental spectrum in light of the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic. Designed for intermediate and advanced practitioners already familiar with cognitive-behavioral and pharmacological interventions for OCD, this presentation will address the cognitive-behavioral treatment of contamination fears and associated washing and other compulsions in the midst of an international health crisis in which social distancing, avoidance of contaminated surfaces, and handwashing are strongly emphasized by the Centers for Disease Control to prevent infection. Discussions will cover which contamination presentations can still be addressed in the current context, modifications that need to be made to in vivo exposure procedures that are convergent with CDC guidelines, and creative solutions to some of the limitations to exposures inherent in adhering to these guidelines.

Led by Rogers Behavioral Health's Dr. Martin Franklin, clinical director, Philadelphia.
