Description
Researchers and clinicians working with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorders (OCD) and related disorders who need the most current information
available will find this volume of great use. This work covers contemporary theory, research, and treatment of the various subtypes of
OCD and problems often referred to as OCD spectrum disorders.
As the mental health field considers the next iteration of the DSM,
an entire research agenda is being planned to elucidate issues such as how best to understand and classify OCD. The questions of subtypes
and spectrum disorders are at the heart of this issue and will guide how OCD is conceptualized in DSM-V. This volume, dedicated to such
diagnostic, theoretical, and treatment issues, helps informs the field of the most up-to-date knowledge and what remains to be resolved.
Audience:
Academics, researchers and practitioners in psychology and specializing in behavioral disorders
