Training In CBT & Other Evidence-Based Psychological Therapies
Introduction
Obsessive Compulsive disorder (OCD) is a major disorder and under recognized public health problem. Onset is usually during the late teens and early twenties and there is evidence that without adequate treatment the disorder tends to have a chronic fluctuating course. Low intensity treatments are recommended for OCD by the NICE Guidelines for mild impairment including brief CBT +ERP (Exposure and response prevention) for less than 10 therapist hours using individual or group formats and can be delivered face to face or by telephone. Low intensity interventions are characterised by the use of a health technology (manual/web based programmes), providing a clear simple rationale with session duration of about 30 minutes.
The event will be equivalent to 2.3/4hrs of CPD.

The BACP Low Intensity SIG are interested in the impact of clinical contact hours on Low Intensity/Wellbeing Practitioner wellbeing. This questionnaire contains six multi-choice questions and a free text box for you to share your experiences. The answers to these questions will help the BABCP SIG plan how to meet CPD topics and other developments within the SIG. The SIG hope to produce a write up of the answers to this questionnaire to be shared with SIG members and to be used in training.
