BT12 Workshop 39 – The Art of Persuasion: Changing the Mind on OCD – Reid Wilson, PhD
Original Program Date :
Length: 2:45:17
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:
- Explain the two primary, though dysfunctional, objectives of clients with obsessive compulsive disorder.
- Defend the importance of altering perception, as opposed to utilizing technique, to help clients with OCD.
- Describe and utilize a persuasive strategy to frame the treatment protocol for OCD.
