Intrusive thoughts are common during pregnancy and the postpartum period, but when they become distressing and compulsive, many clinicians aren’t sure how to tell perinatal OCD apart from typical new-parent worries, or how to treat it. This 3 hour training gives you practical tools for recognizing, assessing and providing treatment and appropriate referrals.

Apply DSM-5 diagnostic criteria to distinguish OCD from other perinatal mood disorders as well as expected developmental adjustment.
Identify perinatal-specific obsessions, compulsions, and avoidance patterns.

Select and apply evidence-based assessment tools and treatment for OCD in the perinatal population.
Understand important additions to clinical interventions specific to the perinatal population in addition to evidence based OCD treatment.
