This unique volume gives readers a front-row seat at an exciting and crucial symposium.
Rrecent advances in theory and treatment have significantly increased our understanding of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Yet research on OCD generally falls under the rubric of either behavioral or biological, and rarely do the two meet. Concepts and Controversies of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder bridges this gap admirably. Featuring an international panel of 42 experts, this volume focuses in depth on—and presents opposing viewpoints to —the seven conceptual and practical disputes that characterize the field today:
- categorical versus dimensional perspectives on symptoms
- animal versus behavioral models
- single OCD entity versus OCD spectrum
- neuropsychiatric versus cognitive-behavioral models
- cognitive therapy versus exposure therapy
- self-directed versus therapist-directed treatment
- medication versus cognitive-behavioral therapy
The book offers these issues in a debate format, with each side contributing a position paper on the topic, followed by a rebuttal from the opposite perspective. In addition, timely chapters examine sexual addictions, body dysmorphic disorder, trichotillomania, Tourette’s syndrome, and compulsive shopping in the context of OCD to bring further insight into spectrum theories of the disorder.
This level of discussion and argument, with its possibility for collaboration and integration, makes Concepts and Controversies of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder productive reading for students, researchers, and therapists of all orientations as they design the next generation of theory and greater nuances of treatment.
