Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Clinician's Guide

The Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Clinician's Guide is a resource for mental health professionals that outlines effective assessment and treatment strategies for OCD. It covers understanding OCD's symptoms—such as persistent, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions)—and provides evidence-based approaches like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), specifically Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). The guide also includes diagnostic criteria, case management tips, and contemporary research to help clinicians deliver precise, personalized care and support individuals in reducing symptoms and improving their quality of life.
