February 29, 2012 “The Bee Trap" Storytelling as a therapeutic modality in the understanding and treatment of OCDPresenter: Allen H. Web, Ed. D. In Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, symptom presentation as well as treatment interventions are often so subtle or bizarre, that illustrative stories can often be the best way to communicate about them. This presentation reviews stories, metaphors and parables that help to better describe the phenomenological experience of OCD, as well as the rationale and efficacy of behavioral treatment interventions. Attendees will come away with a better and deeper understanding of the many manifestations of OCD, as well as deeper understanding of how to think about treatment.
