Abstract

This article discusses assessment, differential diagnosis, and treatment planning for children and adolescents with obsessions and compulsions. Such children require a detailed assessment of their obsessions and compulsions, comorbid difficulties, and overall developmental and adaptive functioning. Although cognitive behavioral therapy and psychopharmacology are the main forms of treatment for the core symptoms of OCD, comprehensive treatment planning and coordination require attention to the child's overall clinical picture.
