The answer is in the audio of this recent radio interview I did with Chris Wakefield on Into The Night. If you don't have 45 minutes to listen to the entire broadcast, then the specific answer is @ 19:54.
Dr. David Tolin will attempt to treat six patients with OCD in 21 days. Check out the premiere on Vh1 Thursday, May 27th at 10 et/pt!
I will watch and Tivo! Dr. Tolin is Brilliant -- nice work VH1.I especially love the Fear Factor element… but I guess this is actually how Cognitive (active) Behavior Therapy actually works. Obsessive compulsive disorder is typically treated with this behavior therapy exposure, but with response prevention, like licking the bottom of your shoe, and then NOT running to the medicine cabinet for mouth wash.
