Description:
Inference-based CBT (I-CBT) is an evidence-based treatment for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. I-CBT gives us additional tools to treat OCD by targeting the faulty reasoning process that creates obsessional doubt. With over thirty years of published research articles on core concepts in I-CBT, and multiple randomized controlled trials on the modality itself, I-CBT has become a treatment of choice for many clinicians and clients. Because I-CBT is an upstream modality, the focus of treatment is on the obsessions themselves unlike other treatment modalities that focus on anxiety and compulsions. When the obsessional doubt is resolved, then the anxiety and compulsive aspects of OCD do not take place. This training will give clinicians an introductory knowledge of I-CBT, and they will then be able to provide I-CBT treatment for clients with OCD. 

Objectives

• Demonstrate knowledge of at least three tricks of OCD.

• Distinguish the treatment target of Inference-based CBT

• Demonstrate knowledge of where Obsessional Reasoning happens in the Obsessional Sequence.
