Credit Hours: 3 Clinical CEs
Description:
Both skin-picking disorder (excoriation) and hair-pulling disorder (trichotillomania) are body-focused repetitive behavior disorders (Jones, Keuthen, & Greenberg, 2018) that can be debilitating for patients (Grant & Chamberlain, 2016; Jafferany & Patel, 2019). Hair-pulling and skin-picking disorders have estimated prevalence of .5-2% (Grant & Chamberlain, 2016) and 1.4-6% respectively (Jafferany & Patel, 2019). Both conditions tend to be more common in women (Jafferany & Patel, 2019).
Current management options for these conditions include habit reversal, acceptance-enhanced behavioral therapy, and pharmacological interventions (Lochner, Roos, & Stein, 2017). Habit reversal training can be used with patients regardless of severity level (Jones, Keuthen, & Greenberg, 2018) and has a strong evidence-base for both conditions (Farhat, et al., 2020; Jones, Keuthen, & Greenberg, 2018).
In this training, participants will review DSM-5 symptoms for trichotillomania and excoriation, learn how to distinguish between these conditions and other obsessive-compulsive related disorders, and learn how to treat both conditions with habit reversal training using a manualized approach.

11:00-12:00 Lecture 1

Cognitive Behavior Institute maintains responsibility for content of this program. Social workers, marriage and family therapists, and professional counselors in Pennsylvania can receive continuing education from providers approved by the American Psychological Association.

The Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB) has a process for approving individual programs or providers for continuing education through their Approved Continuing Education (ACE) program. ACE approved providers and individual courses approved by ASWB are not accepted by every state and regulatory board for continuing education credits for social workers. Every US state other than New York accepts ACE approval for social workers in some capacity: New Jersey only accepts individually approved courses for social workers, rather than courses from approved providers. The West Virginia board requires board approval for live courses, but accepts ASWB ACE approval for other courses for social workers. For more information, please see https://www.aswb.org/ace/ace-jurisdiction-map/. Whether or not boards accept ASWB ACE approved continuing education for other professionals such as licensed professional counselors or licensed marriage and family therapists varies by jurisdiction. To determine if a course can be accepted by your licensing board, please review your board’s regulations or contact them. State and provincial regulatory boards have the final authority to determine whether an individual course may be accepted for continuing education credit.
