M3: Comprehensive OCD Assessment: Using Functional Analysis to Increase Diagnostic Accuracy

Includes a Live Web Event on 11/17/2025 at 11:00 AM (EST)

This workshop will give attendees tools to perform an in-depth assessment of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). We'll review the diagnostic criteria, but we'll also go beyond the DSM-V-TR, using functional analysis to better understand and identify behaviors maintaining OCD. The presenters will also highlight a wide range of OCD "subtypes", helping attendees to be more prepared to screen for lesser-known symptom presentations.
