[Audio Download] IC11 Workshop 17 – Art of Persuasion: Changing the Mind on OCD – Reid Wilson

Description:

Persuading OCD clients to adopt a new frame of reference is the therapist's primary task. Altering perception–not adding technique–helps them change directions, because belief always trumps exposure practice. Participants will learn a persuasive strategy–built out of whole cloth within the first session–that will frame the entire treatment protocol.

Educational Objectives:

1. Explain the two primary, though dysfunctional, objectives of clients with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
2. Defend the importance of altering perception, as opposed to utilizing technique, to help clients with OCD.
