About the speaker
Caleb W. Lack, Ph.D. is a Professor of Psychology and the Counseling Psychology MS program coordinator at the University of Central Oklahoma. He teaches graduate courses on ethics and legal issues, evidence-based psychotherapy across the lifespan, and other clinical areas. A licensed clinical psychologist, Dr. Lack specializes in the treatment of children and adults with anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive and related disorders, and posttraumatic stress. He is regularly consulted for and interviewed by national and international media outlets, including the New York Times, The Atlantic, and more.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder can appear in many different ways. While many people suffering from OCD know it causes high levels of fear and anxiety, fewer people realize just how much anger can be a part of it. In fact, for a large number of children, adolescents, and adults with OCD, anger or rage attacks are a regular and highly disruptive part of their lives.
In this talk, Dr. Lack will discuss why irritability, anger, and rage are very prevalent in OCD and help clinicians better understand this often confusing issue as well as how to address it in session.
