Abstract
This case report outlines the use of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) used to treat an 11-year-old female, “Gabriela,” with comorbid hoarding and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). Gabriela participated in treatment involving CBT and exposure and response prevention (ERP) sessions for OCD and hoarding, following a cognitive rehabilitation software program designed for cognitive impairment. Upon completion of the treatment, Gabriela no longer exhibited behaviors consistent with a comorbid hoarding and OCD diagnosis and demonstrated marked improvements in her presenting problems (mental rituals; hoarding items for magical thinking purposes). This case report supports the focus of research, continuing to explore hoarding and comorbidity diagnoses across the life span.
