Description

Specific training on how to effectively implement exposure and response prevention for obsessive compulsive disorder and related anxiety disorders and related disorders is rare, and data suggest that even when individuals are trained in cognitive behavioural therapy, they often do not use exposure, or do not use it appropriately. In addition, the relative rarity of well-trained ERP practitioners makes it extremely difficult for OCD sufferers to find appropriate care, and many often wait years to get treatment. Finally, recent research on inhibitory learning, or how exposure works, suggests specific guidelines for amplifying treatment efficacy. Thus, this training serves a specific need in the field.
