OCD is characterised by a pattern of rituals (or compulsions) and
obsessive thinking. Common obsessions among children and teens
include a fear of dirt or germs, a need for symmetry, order, and
precision, and a fear of illness or harm coming to oneself or
relatives. Common compulsions include grooming, repeating, and
cleaning rituals. These obsessions and compulsions can severely
interfere with daily functioning and are a source of significant
distress. Without adequate treatment, the quality of life for
youths and families dealing with OCD often suffers.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has shown to be effective in the
treatment of childhood OCD. This Therapist Guide outlines a
12-session CBT-based treatment for OCD that benefits not only
children and adolescents, but their families as well. Each session
incorporates a family therapy component in addition to individual
treatment for the child. It is a combined approach program that
educates the child and family about OCD in order to reduce negative
feelings of guilt and blame and to normalise family functioning.
This manual also provides guidelines for conducting both imaginal
and in vivo exposures; techniques at the core of helping children
reduce their anxiety. For use with children ages 8 to 17, this book
is an indispensable resource for clinicians helping children and
their families cope with OCD.
