ABCs of OCD: Understanding and treating obsessive-compulsive disorder in children

Join us for a unique opportunity to hear from one of the world’s leading experts in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), Professor Eric Storch. The All Children’s Hospital Guild Endowed Chair and Professor of Clinical Psychology at the University of South Florida, Professor Storch specialises in the cognitive behavioural treatment of adult and childhood OCD, publishing more than 450 journal articles along the way.

This eagerly anticipated event should be required listening for parents and teachers of children with obsessive-compulsive disorder emotional problems, and an equally intriguing lecture for academics, health professionals and students.

Attendees will gain an understanding of the symptoms of OCD, the familial and individual factors that maintain symptoms, and the available evidence-based treatments. Professor Storch will also reveal cutting-edge developments in the field of OCD and will show us how families and health professionals can implement a treatment plan to help young people overcome OCD. To learn more about this event, or to register, click here.
