Improve the Quality of Mental Health Care

This DVD helps address the challenges many practitioners face in assimilating results from psychotherapy research into their treatment plans. It offers step-by-step guidance on how to create an evidence-based psychotherapy treatment plan for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). In a viewer-friendly manner, Drs. Art Jongsma and Tim Bruce discuss the steps involved in psychotherapy treatment planning and how to integrate objectives and interventions into a treatment plan—as part of an overall evidence-based practice. A sample evidence-based treatment plan for OCD is provided. The companion workbook contains an optional 10-question test that can be submitted for Continuing Education Credit.
