Abstract
Assessment and treatment parameters for obsessive-compulsive spectrum disorders (obsessive-compulsive disorder, body dysmorphic disorder, hypochondriasis, primary anorexia nervosa, Gilles de la Tourette's syndrome, and trichotillomania) are presented. The aim of this paper is to augment the emerging general guidelines for clinicians who are treating patients with these conditions. We outline how to determine what type of treatment to use and at what frequency it should be administered. Different locations of treatment—from inpatient to outpatient, homes, and residencies—are discussed. Prognostic indicators are also discussed.
