- Summary:
- Although there have been several manuals written about how to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) using cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), there has been little focus on application of CBT principles to those suffering from sexual obsessions. Treating sexual obsessions in OCD differs from the treatment of other forms of OCD due to heightened feelings of shame surrounding symptoms, widespread misdiagnosis from professionals, and the covert nature of ritualizing behaviours. This text provides clinicians with the tools needed to successfully help clients suffering from unwanted, intrusive thoughts of a sexual nature. It provides instructions on how to diagnose OCD in clients reporting sexual obsessions, guidance on measures to employ during assessment, and a discussion of differential diagnoses.
