Obsessive Compulsive Disorder: Cognitive Behaviour Therapy with Children and Young People

by Polly Waite (Editor), Tim Williams (Editor)

Overview

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is characterised by a person's obsessive, distressing, intrusive thoughts and their related compulsions. It affects an estimated one percent of teenagers and has been detected in children as young as three years old.

In this concise, accessible book experienced contributors provide detailed guidance on carrying out assessments and treatment for children and young people with OCD from a cognitive behavioural perspective.

• an overview of OCD

• assessment and treatment methods
• case studies and clinical vignettes
• worksheets for use with the client.

This straightforward text provides essential direction for practitioners and trainees in a range of professions including psychiatry, psychotherapy, counselling, nursing, education and social work.
