APN CLINICAL CASE NIGHT WEBINAR

 

‘Treating Teen Sexual OCD in a world of devices’

Presenter:

Dr Danielle Einstein

Adjunct Fellow, Macquarie University

About this webinar: Sexual obsessions in OCD are increasingly common in teenagers with lockdowns having led to an elevation in the severity of symptoms for OCD. Symptoms include intrusive thoughts about paedophilia, consent, bestiality, and sexual preferences. Devices have increased accessibility to triggers, moral messages from influencers and facilitated checking responses and cyberchondria. In this seminar, Danielle will use case presentations to highlight components of therapy to target in treating sexual obsessions in teenagers. There will be a discussion of developments in imaginal exposure, reassurance seeking and other novel strategies to address psychological mechanisms underlying OCD.
About the presenter: Dr Danielle Einstein is a Clinical Psychologist with over 25 years experience in treating anxiety and OCD. Danielle was Head of the Anxiety Clinic at Westmead Hospital from 1996 to 2002. The clinic had a special interest in OCD with several OCD research projects conducted. Since then, Danielle has provided OCD treatment for adolescents and adults in her private practice. In other work, she has led teams to develop and evaluate wellbeing initiatives, co-authored internationally used internet programs for anxiety, depression and responses to uncertainty (Chilled Plus, Climate Social Anxiety program, Chilled and Considerate teacher and parent wellbeing programs). Danielle has worked closely with Bell Shakespeare, academics from around Australia and staff from many distinguished schools internationally and at home. Her current research, as an Adjunct Fellow at Macquarie University explores the impact of preventative school programs on mental health.
