Description: "Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) disrupts the psychosocial and academic functioning of one in 200 children and adolescents - and even those young people who are correctly diagnosed often do not receive developmentally appropriate care. 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.

Illustrative case material, assessment instruments, and a special section on overcoming common therapeutic roadblocks enhance the utility of this resource for clinicians working in a wide range of mental health settings."--BOOK JACKET.
