Introduction & Theoretical Background
An estimated 1 – 2% of children experience OCD, Rapoport et al, 2000). Symptoms include obsessions (repetitive and distressing thoughts, images, or urges) and compulsions (repetitive behaviors, including mental acts, that are performed in response to obsessions). Obsessions and compulsive are often time consuming and can have a significant impact on people’s relationships, work, and ability to function. Cognitive Behavioral Treatment Of Childhood OCD: It’s Only A False Alarm is a comprehensive program which assists clinicians in delivering an effective program of ERP for OCD. The program includes two books:
- Cognitive Behavioral Treatment Of Childhood OCD: It’s Only A False Alarm: Therapist Guide details the step-by-step treatment of OCD using ERP, including common obstacles.
- Cognitive Behavioral Treatment Of Childhood OCD: It’s Only A False Alarm: Workbook is the companion to this therapist guide. It will help your patients to become active participants in their treatment and learn how to implement ERP,
