Title: Managing Barriers to Reduce Family Accommodation in Pediatric OCD
Recorded on February 4, 2021
Featuring Jennifer Park, PhD & Robert Selles, PhD
This presentation will focus on how clinicians can provide empirically based interventions to manage barriers to reducing family accommodation for families with OCD. Designed for the intermediate practitioner, presenters will review the negative impact of family accommodation on OCD treatment and familial relationships as well as describe the common challenges that can occur when clinicians attempt to reduce family accommodation in the home. Several of these challenges will be discussed in further detail and ways to manage these challenges via empirically based interventions will be discussed. Ample time will be allotted at the end of the presentation to address audience questions.
Learning Objectives:
- Define and describe family accommodation and how it affects familial relationships and treatment outcomes
- Identify key differences between children and adults in regard to family accommodation and common barriers to reducing family accommodation
- Describe interventions to effectively target barriers to family accommodation reduction
