Penelope Green will be doing a story on perfectionism and home design for the New York Times home section. She is looking for someone whose perfectionism has got in the way of buying virtually anything to decorate their home for fear of making the wrong decision (something less than perfect). Contact Penelope directly at greenpe@nytimes.com

Individuals with OCD who might otherwise not be able to visit a specialty OCD clinic will get a chance to experience an intensive 2-day treatment program in conjunction with the annual conference. Dr. Reid Wilson, co-author of Stop Obsessing! and author of Don’t Panic! will be running 2-day treatment groups for people with OCD.

Due to popular demand and thanks to the dedication of Dr. Wilson, in addition to the Wednesday/Thursday group (July 25-26), we have also added a Sunday/Monday (July 29-30) group to the program this year. Space is limited to eight patients in each group. Four spots for mental health professionals to observe the training are also available for each group.

Dr. Wilson is generously donating 100% of all registration fees back to the IOCDF! The cost is $375. To register, please visit:http://anxieties.com/pdf/registration.pdf. Make sure to indicate which group you are interested on the registration form.

Questions and the completed registration form should be sent directly to Dr. Wilson at rrw@med.unc.edu
