SUMMARY:IOCDF Advanced Forum on Pediatric OCD
DESCRIPTION:The Advanced Forum is a three-day event organized by the IOCDF to enhance the clinical skills of mental health professionals who have attended a Behavior Therapy Training Institute (BTTI) or a similar level of training. Attendees should feel comfortable diagnosing and assessing OCD and providing evidence-based treatment\, including exposure and response prevention (ERP). \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration is now open!\n\n\n\n\n\nWhile BTTIs are kept small to enhance learning and promote a comfortable environment to learn a new treatment modality\, the revamped Advanced Forum is significantly larger (expected attendance 200)\, providing an opportunity to connect with other professionals treating OCD and the leaders in the field. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAlong with lectures\, Advanced Forums include Q&A panels\, case presentations and live consultation from experts on select cases submitted by attendees. \nEach Advanced Forum focus on a specific topic of interest\, to deepen the practice of clinicians who are comfortable treating OCD and related disorders. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nExamples from previous years’ topics include: \n\nTreatment engagement\, ambivalence\, and resistance in OCD (Boston\, MA\, 2015)\nWorking with OCD-related disorders and co-occurring conditions (Boston\, MA\, 2017)\nPromoting Treatment Engagement in OCD-Related Disorders (Belmont\, MA\, 2018)\nFlexibility Within Fidelity: Adapting Evidence-Based OCD Treatments to Client Factors (Toronto\, Canada\, 2024)\n2025 Advanced Forum on Pediatric OCD (Long Beach\, CA\, October 23–25\, 2025) – Register Today

SUMMARY:Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder: An Online Introduction (November 2025)
DESCRIPTION:Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) was recently added to the Feeding and Eating Disorders section of DSM-5 to describe children\, adolescents\, and adults who do not eat enough food (by variety or volume)\, typically because of sensory sensitivity\, fear of aversive consequences (e.g.\, choking\, vomiting)\, and/or apparent lack of interest in eating or food. Although there is a robust literature on pediatric feeding disorders in very young children\, ARFID itself is so new that there is currently no evidence-based treatment for older children\, adolescents\, or adults. Thus\, our online course will fill an important gap for our colleagues who are already seeing such patients in clinical practice by providing specialized training in a new form of cognitive-behavioral therapy for ARFID (CBT-AR) that we have developed and refined at Massachusetts General Hospital for patients aged 10 through older adults. E\narly data from our preliminary efficacy studies indicate that\, on average\, patients who receive CBT-AR incorporate many novel foods into their regular diets\, gain significant weight (if underweight)\, and significantly reduce both ARFID symptom severity and food neophobia. Our 6-week course will cover the assessment of ARFID and determining patient appropriateness of CBT-AR\, as well as the implementation of all four stages of this flexible\, modular treatment. Material will be drawn from our recently published books\n(Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder: Children\, Adolescents\, and Adults\, Cambridge University Press\, 2019; and The Picky Eater’s Recovery Book: Overcoming Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder\, Cambridge University Press\, 2021)\, cases we have seen in our clinical practice\, and our ongoing research studies on the neurobiology and treatment of ARFID. \nCourse materials are available beginning on November 3\, 2025\, and all online coursework must be completed by December 29\, 2025. \nPricing\nRegistration Deadline: November 17\, 2025 \nPhysicians and Doctoral-level Professionals: $445.00\nOther Professionals: $345.00
