The Clinician's Guide to Treatment and Management of Youth with
Tourette Syndrome and Tic Disorders provides clinicians with
cognitive behavioral therapy concepts and skills to manage young
patients dealing with Tourette Syndrome (TS) and tic disorders.
This book focuses on improving the quality of life, patient
resiliency, habit reversal techniques, talking about tics with
peers, and overcoming tic-related avoidance. Each chapter looks at
the nature and background of common challenges for youth with TS
experience, reviews empirically-informed rationale for using
specific cognitive-behavioral strategies, discusses the nature and
implementation of these strategies, and concludes with a case that
illustrates a particular strategy. Medication management is covered
in its own chapter, and clinical excerpts are used throughout the
book to illustrate key techniques that can be incorporated into
immediate practice.
If you suffer from Tourette Syndrome (TS), or any other chronic
motor or vocal tic disorder, you know how difficult it can be to
manage your symptoms. You may be taking medication or working with
a medical doctor to control your tics. If you are seeking an
alternative or adjunctive treatment, you may wish to try the
scientifically proven behavior therapy program described in this
workbook.
Behavior therapy can teach you skills for effectively managing your
tics. Designed to be used in conjunction with visits to a qualified
mental health professional, this workbook outlines an 11-session
treatment package for adults and children with tic disorders.

Pediatric obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is a common condition
that can take a substantial toll on the entire family system.
Research suggests that families of youth with OCD face a unique set
of difficulties in that they often are intimately involved in the
child's symptoms. This involvement, also known as symptom
accommodation, can be quite taxing, and it is often accompanied by
high levels of distress, anxiety, and family conflict. These family
responses, while natural and understandable, pose very real
problems for treatment. Growing research suggests that poor family
functioning undermines successful child OCD treatment. Helping
Families Manage Childhood OCD provides clinicians with a
comprehensive set of strategies for identifying and intervening
with family dynamics that are likely to interfere with successful
treatment of pediatric OCD. Moving beyond commonly employed
techniques such as parent education and behavior management
training, this manual includes skills training in emotion
regulation for the entire family. It offers step-by-step strategies
for helping family members to identify and manage their own
emotional responses to OCD and provides a foundation for more
effective and collaborative problem-solving around OCD. Through
interactive exercises, families develop strategies for
communicating around and troubleshooting difficult OCD episodes as
well as strategies for promoting a more positive home environment
in which to work on OCD.
Tourette syndrome (TS) is a chronic, neurobehavioral disorder of
childhood that has traditionally been treated with medication.
Although available, many mental health professionals are not
familiar with an effective behavioral therapy for tic disorders.
This therapist guide outlines a safe and scientifically proven
treatment that can help sufferers of TS and other tic disorders
effectively manage their tics and improve their quality of life.
The treatment described is an 11-session package for children and
adults (ages 9 and older). Psychoeducation about tic disorders is
blended with multiple components of behavior therapy, including
habit reversal training (HRT), relaxation training, and
function-based treatments. The primary goal of this program is to
teach the patient effective tic management skills rather than to
cure the tic disorder.
At the start of the program, you will work with your patient to
create a hierarchy of tics to be addressed in treatment. Each week,
a new tic will be targeted and an appropriate function-based
intervention implemented. Tic management skills are supplemented
with relaxed breathing and progressive muscle relaxation exercises
to help the patient combat anxiety. Relapse prevention and booster
sessions help reinforce the skills taught in therapy and give the
patient a positive outlook for the future.
Complete with step-by-step instructions for conducting sessions, as
well as lists of materials needed and copies of necessary forms,
this guide provides you with all the information you need to
effectively administer treatment.

If your child has Tourette Syndrome (TS), or any other chronic
motor or vocal tic disorder, you know how important it is to get
the best treatment available. Behavior therapy, as described in
this workbook, is a treatment for tic disorders that is
scientifically proven to help sufferers of TS manage their
symptoms.
This 11-session program involves helping your child become aware of
his tics and the situations that make them worse. In conjunction
with visits to a qualified mental health professional, your family
will learn to restructure your child's environment so tics occur
less frequently. With your help, your child will create a list of
tics to be addressed during treatment. Each week a new tic will be
targeted and your child will be taught specific exercises for
managing that tic. The program also includes relaxation techniques
designed to help your child combat anxiety and stress. Relapse
prevention strategies will help your family maintain progress and
keep your child motivated long after treatment has ended.
Complete with psychoeducational information, as well as
child-friendly forms and worksheets, this workbook will help your
family better understand TS and the ways you can effectively
support your child. The goal of this program is not to cure the tic
disorder, but to teach your child skills for managing tics well
into the future.
