Case Study: Exposure and Response Prevention for an Adolescent With Tourette’s Syndrome and OCD - 05/09/11
ABSTRACT |
Using recently refined diagnostic criteria, the authors hypothesized that the frequent touching of others by a 16-year-old male adolescent with Tourette’s syndrome was a compulsion and not a tic. Consistent with the study’s hypothesis, the authors applied exposure and response prevention, a procedure empirically supported for treatment of compulsions but not for tics, to the touching. Results showed a significant decrease in touching attempts, overt anxiety, and subjective anxiety across time.
