Exposure Therapy for Child and Adolescent Anxiety and OCD

Exposure is the most important component of therapy for anxiety disorders and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) in children and adolescents. Unfortunately, this treatment tool is infrequently used by clinicians, limiting the help available to children suffering from anxiety and OCD. To address this gap, Exposure Therapy for Child and Adolescent Anxiety and OCD begins with a rationale for using exposure therapy grounded in history and science. The
authors then provide a step-by-step procedure for delivering exposures, illustrated through sample dialogues and case examples.
