Drs. McGinn and Sanderson demonstrate that if the assumptions governing obsessions and compulsions are challenged, the seemingly closed circle can be broken and an intransigent disorder treated. They model the therapist's use of cognitive behavioral techniques session by session, scripting the clinical approach to each intervention: Psychoeducation strategies; Cognitive Restructuring; Systematic Exposure; and Response Prevention. Focusing on a single composite case to animate a workable program, the authors manage to cover all bases while leaving room for compassionate improvisation. |

| Publisher Description: Treatment for patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) has dramatically improved with the innovative use of cognitive-behavioral therapies. Drs. McGinn and Sanderson have developed a comprehensive method of treatment that combines psychoeducational and cognitive restructuring with traditional exposure and response prevention techniques. A detailed session-by-session guide is presented to help clinicians assess and treat OCD with this unique blend of therapies. Using a composite case example, the authors demonstrate exactly how to implement various strategies from the initial interview to the conclusion of treatment. |
