Description: Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) can develop at a young age and when it does, it can cause significant distress for the child and the family. Parents may be unclear on the nature of OCD symptoms and how to best respond to their child. Family involvement in the child's symptoms may be making the situation worse for the whole family. When treating young children with OCD, it is important to recognize the family component and directly involve parents in treatment. It is also essential to tailor the treatment to a child's age and developmental level. This therapist guide presents a family-based treatment for OCD specifically designed for children ages 5-8.
Review Quotes: "This excellent book presents an evidence-based treatment program that is easy for the therapist to use, and children with OCD and their parents can benefit from the practical ideas. This book will appeal to all clinicians who treat young children, but novice therapists will especially benefit from the well organized information. New graduates often will have some anxiety about their ability to manage treatment, but this wonderful guide will give them confidence."--Doody's Health Sciences Review, a 4-star review!
