This practical manual presents a cognitive-behavioral treatment program that has been proven effective in eliminating or alleviating OCD symptoms in children across a broad range of ages and aptitudes. Building upon and expanding their internationally acclaimed HOW I RAN OCD OFF MY LAND, the authors provide an empirically grounded guide to assessment, treatment planning, and skills-based intervention. Clinicians are taken through the four stages of treatment--psychoeducation, cognitive training, mapping OCD, and graded exposure and response prevention--in 13 to 20 clearly structured treatment sessions. The book is enriched by sample dialogues, "clinical pearls" drawn from the authors' own experience, and appendices featuring reproducible rating scales, patient handouts, and tips and resources for parents.

OCD in Children and Adolescents: A Cognitive-Behavioral Treatment Manual PDF

John March is author of one of the best treatment manuals I have ever laid my eyes on. He and Mulle have laid out in very clear fashion what steps to follow in treating OCD in a child or adolescent. They add tips on what to do when problems arise and include gems of clinical knowledge that make this a must have resource for anyone treating OCD. While the book is about treating children and adolescents I have found it helped me think more clearly about doing the same type of treatment with adults. This book is directed toward the therapists who may not have a backround in cognitive behavioral treatment and explains some concepts that may seem strange to those from other backrounds. It is not written for parents but I have recomended it to them since there is little else around that explains things any where near as clearly.

After searching the internet and reading many books for information in an effort to understand the condition my son suddenly developed, many references were made to this treatment manual. Although I am only a parent, and this book is meant for therapists, I decided to purchase it anyway. Along with my son's therapist and a low dose of medication, we used the methods and suggestions in this book to overcome his OCD. The real therapy happens at home with strong family involvement and support, so parents need to fully understand what they need to do. This book clearly guides you through the exposure and response prevention therapy steps, which is the only therapy that will help someone overcome OCD. Although I found some parts to be technical, rereading them helped me understand them better. I recommend this book for motivated parents, children & adolescents who want to overcome their OCD. The therapy is hard work, but after several weeks, you will be much better!
