Summary:

Dr. Eric A. Storch meets with a child and her mother, both presenting as Black. The child's presenting concern is OCD manifesting as excessive hand washing and avoidance of objects in the world she perceives as dirty or germ-ridden. The client expresses the fear that by touching these "dirty" items, she will get her family sick if she touches them afterward. Storch uses cognitive behavioral therapy, focusing primarily on exposure and response prevention to assist the child with overcoming her fear of dirty objects. Throughout the session, Storch exposes the child to various dirty objects, emphasizing the perception that her OCD thoughts cause her more harm than good. By the end of the session, the client's anxiety is reduced. Together, she, her mother, and Storch come up with homework assignments for her to engage in outside of the session, including touching a dirty video game controller at home
