Credits: 1 CEU Hours

Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is a chronic, debilitating, and costly disorder with treatments that usually produce disappointing outcomes. Progress in understanding OCD has slowed, in part, due to the heterogeneity within the disorder and that the main features of the disorder are shared with other diagnoses. To overcome this limitation, this course introduces methodological approaches to increase our understanding of OCD and presents candidate traits that might exemplify trans-diagnostic symptoms dimensions. The identification of biologically valid dimensions and reliable genetic contributions will be useful toward developing future psychiatric treatments for OCD and related disorders.
