Based on principles of cognitive-behavioral therapy, the sessions incorporate family and individual treatment in order to reduce guilt and blame and normalize family functioning. The program consists of support for controlled exposures to symptom triggers, home activities, and response prevention techniques, in a framework of twelve 90-minute sessions delivered over the course of 14 weeks. The guide outlines each session, with notes on materials needed (such as rating scales and practice forms), coping strategies, case vignettes, homework, and patient and family education topics to discuss. An appendix provides 14 pages of rating scales. The accompanying client workbook contains at-home exercises, along with graphs for tracking anxiety ratings, symptom diary pages, and space for patients to draw pictures. The program was initially developed and tested at the New York State Psychiatric Institute/Columbia University. Piacentini directs the Child OCD, Anxiety, and Tic Disorders Program at UCLA Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior. There is no subject index.
