Summary:

Obsessive-compulsive disorder, or OCD, affects 1 in 200 children, and is characterized by unwanted, distressing and repeated thoughts that lead to compulsive actions. Children and adults suffering from OCD usually hold the false notion that rituals reduce anxiety and distressing thoughts, and this belief inevitably results in a pattern of repetitive negative reinforcement.The most effective interventions often focus on breaking this pattern, and in this video, following an introduction from Dr. Gregory S. Chasson and Q and A with a mental health panel, Dr. Eric A. Storch illustrates this aspect of the approach with an application of exposure and response prevention. The therapy demonstration in this program shows Dr. Storch working for the fifth session with a nine-year-old girl and her mother, helping the child confront her fear that she will physically harm those she loves. Further discussion with the mental health panel takes place following the session.This demonstration features actors portraying clients on the basis of a composite of actual cases
