Cognitive-behavioral therapy for childhood repetitive behavior disorders: tic disorders and trichotillomania
Christopher A Flessner. Child Adolesc Psychiatr Clin N Am. 2011 Apr.
Abstract
This article provides an overview of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for repetitive behavior disorders. Because tic disorders and trichotillomania are the most often studied and most debilitating of these conditions, this article focuses on the efficacy of CBT for these 2 conditions. An overview of CBT for children presenting with these concerns is provided. This review focuses particularly on habit reversal training, which is at the core of most CBT-based interventions. Two recent empirical studies on the immense potential of CBT in treating childhood repetitive behavior disorders and future areas of research are also discussed.
