Advanced Casebook of Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders: Conceptualizations and Treatment

By Eric A. Storch (Author), this comprehensive guide presents a synthesis of the emerging data across clinical phenomenology, assessment, psychological therapies, and biologically-oriented therapies regarding obsessive-compulsive disorders, including hoarding, skin picking, body dysmorphic, and impulse control disorders. Following the re-classification of such disorders in the DSM-5, the book addresses recent advances in treatment, assessment, treatment augmentation, and basic science of OCRDs.

Psychosocial Theoretical and Intervention Approaches

The book includes psychosocial theoretical and intervention approaches, addressing newly proposed clinical entities, such as misophonia and orthorexia. It also examines neurobiological features of OCRDs across the lifespan.
