People with strong obsessional doubt and fixed, overvalued obsessional beliefs are often resistant to cognitive-behaviour therapy and difficult to help. In over ten years of clinical practice with people with obsessive-compulsive disorders (OCD), it became clear to Kieron O'Connor, Frederick Aardema and Marie-Claude Pélissier that current cognitive explanations of such disorders are often incomplete.
Beyond Reasonable Doubt presents an innovative approach that brings together reasoning research, philosophy of mind and language, and cognitive therapy to understand OCD. It outlines the development and validation of an inference-based approach to treating OCD, which addresses the inductive and often imaginary narrative leading to obsessional inferences.
Clinical psychologists, psychiatrists and other mental health workers will find this book of great interest. Also included is a complete treatment manual of inferential based therapy (IBA), together with an appendix of supplementary treatment cards for the client that are available online at: www.wileyeurope.com/go/oconnor.
Frederick Aardema studied clinical psychology at the University of Groningen and the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands under the supervision of Prof. P.M.G. Emmelkamp in affiliation with the Fernand-Seguin Research Center located in Montreal, Canada. He currently resides in Canada and has published in international journals in the field of obsessive-compulsive disorder. In particular, his research interests include psychometric and experimental methods in the measurement of reasoning processes in OCD, as well as the application of inference and narrative based models to obsessions without overt compulsions. He is a licensed psychologist and has a private practice in Montreal, Quebec.
Marie-Claude Pélissier studied psychology at the University of Quebec at Montreal in Canada and did most of her clinical training in London, England. She has been working for almost eight years in clinical research on obsessive-compulsive disorder and other OCD related disorders, which has resulted in publications in two international journals. As a licensed psychologist, she recently started her own private practice. She is also actively involved in local mental health community groups where she teaches and acts as scientific consultant on OCD.
