We recommend however to check out his books "Coping with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: A Step-by-Step Guide Using the Latest CBT Techniques" and "A Clinician's Guide to Treating OCD: The Most Effective CBT Approaches for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder" 7:20:42 - The Secret Illness: OCD Through Creative Arts RATIONALE OF THE EVENT: Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) affects up to 3% of the general population and is considered to be one of the most debilitating mental disorders. While OCD is a well-known disorder for its stereotypical representations (e.g. excessive urges for cleanliness, perfection, and order), it is actually highly misunderstood. OCD sufferers experience a pathological doubt about any theme that is relevant to their social lives, and is emotionally and morally significant for their identity. As such, affected people can obsess about scrupulosity (e.g. fear of doing something morally wrong), health (e.g. fear of being infected or infecting others), violence (e.g. fear of causing harm to oneself or others), religion (e.g. fear of being blasphemous), relationships (e.g. fear of not truly loving parents, children or romantic partner(s)), and/or core aspects of their identity, such as sexuality (e.g. fear of being straight, LGBQ+, pedophile, zoophile) and gender identity (e.g. fear of being cis- or transgender). Considering the different shapes that OCD can take, it is often misdiagnosed or detected later in life. Hence, there is a need to work closely with and for the OCD community in order to come up with strategies to raise awareness and improve the diagnosis and treatment of OCD. To this aim, this one-day conference at Queen Mary University of London will bring together OCD sufferers, psychotherapists, artists, and charities with scholars from the humanities and social sciences to think about the different ways that OCD is understood in our society: be that through stories by affected people from different backgrounds, fictitious narratives in films and novels, media reports, music, artwork (e.g. paintings, carvings, performances) or different institutions (e.g. academia, charities, mental health services). It is only through an understanding of how meaning about OCD is circulated in and regulated by society that we can find appropriate measures to take social action. The event is divided into two parts, each providing a platform to explore different perspectives: ACADEMIC PERSPECTIVES: Social scientists who are doing qualitative research on OCD will present their work. Dr Olivia Knapton (King’s College London) will give a keynote lecture on linguistic approaches to OCD narratives followed by 4-6 academics who use qualitative approaches to the study of OCD. If you would like be part of that panel, please read the call for papers here. SOCIAL PERSPECTIVES: We will have a roundtable discussing issues surrounding prevention strategies and raising awareness about OCD with Stuart Ralph (The OCD Stories), Olivia Bamber (OCD Action), and Catherine Benfield (OCD Advocate); Psychotherapist Dr Jan van Niekerk presenting a workshop about cognitive behavioral therapy and inference-based therapy; and The Secret Illness presenting performances and exposing artwork by OCD sufferers throughout the day.

Thank you so much to those who attended #OCDinSociety! I was pleased and amazed by the quality of the presentations and questions asked! Hopefully we can repeat this in the future! You can now watch the entirety of the event on Youtube:Share it! :D

Need advice from attendees of #OCDinSociety: is it a good idea to spread around the venue little vignettes describing intrusive thoughts so that those who don't have OCD can imagine what OCD is all about?
