Description
Understanding and addressing sexual obsessions in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) can be a complex challenge for both clinicians and clients. This comprehensive guide provides a step-by-step approach to treatment, drawing on evidence-based cognitive-behavioural therapy strategies and mindfulness techniques.
Written by two experienced clinicians, this book offers a practical and accessible resource for professionals and students in the mental health field. It covers assessment and differential diagnosis, treatment using exposure and response prevention, cognitive therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy, as well as strategies for promoting client learning and understanding.
With accompanying educational handouts and diagrams, this book provides a valuable tool for clinicians working with clients experiencing unwanted and intrusive thoughts of a sexual nature. It also addresses the often-overlooked issue of relationship problems that can arise from sexually-themed OCD.
