This chapter provides a practical guide to assessing obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) that is both informative to the inexperienced clinician and addresses questions raised by the experienced clinician. It will summarize the diagnostic criteria for OCD, including advice on making a differential diagnosis when presented with symptoms that are associated with other disorders; for example, differentiating OCD from psychosis, generalized anxiety disorder, or health anxiety. It will guide the reader through the process of conducting a thorough assessment of the patient’s presenting problems, including OCD and any comorbid problems. The chapter will offer guidance on how to engage the person with OCD and promote trust. There is clear guidance on risk assessment, differentiating between primary risk factors (which clinicians are typically very good at assessing), and secondary risk factors (which may easily be overlooked). Advice on structuring an assessment and on appropriate assessment tools is provided.

Made In

Until the late 1960s, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) was considered to be a relatively untreatable condition. Over the next several years, many advances were made in the psychological treatment of OCD as clinicians and researchers began to realize the value of behavioural treatments for this population. Isaac Marks and his colleagues played an instrumental role in the development and initial validation of exposure-based treatments for OCD. In addition to his other important research in the area of anxiety, Marks continued to study behavioural treatments for OCD, including the processes and predictors of treatment outcome. More recently, his work has focused on self-administered treatments for OCD and other anxiety disorders, including computerized and telephone-based treatments. This paper reviews research on the behavioural treatment of OCD, with an emphasis on the contributions of Isaac Marks.
