This step-by-step guide provides mental health professionals with an adaptable, evidence-based model that uses cognitive behavior therapy to treat pediatric OCD.

Chapters describe the nuts and bolts of assessment, case conceptualization, and treatment planning, as well as psychoeducation, pharmacotherapy, strategies for relapse prevention, and involving family members in treatment. Richly described case studies illustrate how core strategies can be effectively implemented with youth between the ages of 7 and 18.

The authors present well-tested, empirically-validated strategies that encourage clinical flexibility and creativity.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), which can cause significant impairment in personal, social, and academic contexts, affects nearly half a million children in the United States.

Clinicians and practitioners resources provides downloadable handouts for clinical use, including worksheets and fact sheets for parents and guardians, exercises and games, and other tools and resources.

About the Authors

Tompkins-OCD-Youth-Sample

This evidence-based guide will teach you how to conduct therapy with youth who have OCD. It provides a modular structure for individualizing treatment, based on a cognitive conceptualization.

Tompkins, Owen, Shiloff, and Tanner slam a home run with this book. They cover all the CBT bases for effective treatment of pediatric OCD. Ingenious techniques, clinical dialogues, and helpful resources make this inspired reading for any practitioner treating young patients with OCD.

There are still too few clinicians adequately trained in the treatment of pediatric OCD. This book provides health care professionals with techniques for implementing evidence-based treatments like exposure and response prevention. Readers will also find guidance on promoting engagement, dealing with unexpected obstacles, and reducing family accommodation. I highly recommend this book to pediatric therapists seeking to develop their skills in OCD treatment and to OCD therapists looking to expand their practice to include youth.

—C. Alec Pollard, PhD
