“Your want me to do what?” Ethical Considerations in Exposure Therapy for OCD and Anxiety Disorders

This is a live interactive webinar presentation via Zoom.

We know that Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) works well for the treatment of OCD, however many people are hesitant to engage in this treatment, and few therapists specialize in it. One of the reasons for this paradox is the belief that EXR is scary, harmful, or ineffective. This presentation will discuss ethical concerns many therapists and patients have with exposure therapy, such as whether top-of-the-hierarchy exposures can be unsafe, and how to get a child willing to engage in treatment, and how to prevent exposures from “going wrong.” Specific strategies for avoiding or minimizing potential ethical dilemmas will be provided.

Participation in this program will enable you to:

• Dispel the common myths of exposure therapy (EXP) for OCD.
• Identify and be aware of common ethical considerations in ERP.
• Discuss various strategies for preventing, minimizing, or addressing ethical issues in ERP.
