Abstract

In this case report Paul, a 15‐year‐old boy who displayed a number of obsessional checking rituals, was treated, using a systematic behaviour therapy package involving autogenic training, satiation and response prevention procedures. Self‐report and observations measures were used to monitor both the frequency of Paul's ritualistic behaviour and also changes in his mood state during baseline treatment and post‐treatment phases. There was a marked reduction in the frequency of checking behaviour accompanied by a more favourable assessment of mood which was maintained at a 6 month follow‐up.
