Research findings into the causes of OCD are reviewed which indicate that the brains of individuals with OCD have different patterns of brain activity than those of people without mental illness or with some other mental illness. Other types of illness that may be linked to OCD are noted, such as Tourette syndrome, trichotillomania, body dysmorphic disorder and hypochondriasis. The use of pharmacotherapy and behavior therapy to treat individuals with OCD is evaluated and a screening test for OCD is presented, along with information on how to get help for OCD. Lists of organizations that can be contacted and related books on the subject are also provided. Case histories of people with OCD are included in the margins of the booklet.

  • Debbie Sookman Is an Outstanding Contribution to the Science and Clinical Practice Related to the Full Range of Obsessive Com- Pulsive Disorder
    Downloaded by [New York University] at 04:59 12 August 2016 “I strongly recommend this expert clinical guide to the psychological treat- ment of obsessive compulsive disorders. The depth of Dr. Sookman’s clinical experience and her command of the literature are evident in the thorough coverage of assessment procedures, how to optimize the effects of therapy and deal with problems. The numerous case illustrations are well-chosen and clearly described.” —S. Rachman, Emeritus Professor, Institute of Psychiatry, London University, and University of British Columbia. “Specialized Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder: An Expert Clinician Guidebook by Dr. Debbie Sookman is an outstanding contribution to the science and clinical practice related to the full range of Obsessive Com- pulsive Disorder. This is an excellent book in every way imaginable. Clearly written and organized, Sookman provides a critical and scholarly review of the state of the art on OCD. Every researcher and clinician can benefit from this superb book. The reader benefits from the considerable clinical expe- rience and scholarship that Dr Sookman possesses, while learning specific and powerful tools in helping those who suffer from OCD. Case examples illustrate the importance of conceptualization and the value of empirically supported treatments. I am particularly impressed that Sookman was able to balance such sophistication in her critical and scientific understanding of OCD, while still writing a clear and concise book on the topic. This is a book I will recommend to both beginning clinicians in training and to seasoned researchers and practitioners.” —Robert L.

  • Tic Disorders
    No. 35 May 2012 Tic Disorders A tic is a problem in which a part of the body moves repeatedly, quickly, suddenly and uncontrollably. Tics can occur in any body part, such as the face, shoulders, hands or legs. They can be stopped voluntarily for brief periods. Sounds that are made involuntarily (such as throat clearing, sniffing) are called vocal tics. Most tics are mild and hardly noticeable. However, in some cases they are frequent and severe, and can affect many areas of a child's life. The most common tic disorder is called "transient tic disorder" and may affect up to 10 percent of children during the early school years. Teachers or others may notice the tics and wonder if the child is under stress or "nervous." Transient tics go away by themselves. Some may get worse with anxiety, tiredness, and some medications. Some tics do not go away. Tics which last one year or more are called "chronic tics." Chronic tics affect less than one percent of children and may be related to a special, more unusual tic disorder called Tourette's Disorder. Children with Tourette's Disorder have both body and vocal tics (throat clearing). Some tics disappear by early adulthood, and some continue. Children with Tourette's Disorder may also have problems with attention, and learning disabilities. They may act impulsively, and/or develop obsessions and compulsions. Sometimes people with Tourette's Disorder may blurt out obscene words, insult others, or make obscene gestures or movements. They cannot control these sounds and movements and should not be blamed for them.

E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Compulsive behaviors are driven by repetitive urges and typically involve the experience of limited voluntary control over these urges, a diminished ability to delay or inhibit these behaviors, and a tendency to perform repetitive acts in a habitual or stereotyped manner. Compulsivity is not only a central characteristic of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) but is also crucial to addiction. Based on this analogy, OCD has been proposed to be part of the concept of behavioral addiction along with other non-drug-related disorders that share compulsivity, such as pathological gambling, skin-picking, trichotillomania and compulsive eating.

  • Síndrome De Tourette: Uma Análise Biográfica a Partir Do Filme “O Primeiro Da Classe”
    SÍNDROME DE TOURETTE: UMA ANÁLISE BIOGRÁFICA A PARTIR DO FILME “O PRIMEIRO DA CLASSE” Anne Caroline Silva Aires – Graduanda em Pedagogia José Batista de Farias Neto- Graduando em História Martha Valéria Silva Araújo– Graduanda em Pedagogia Adenize Queiroz de Farias- Orientadora Universidade Estadual da Paraíba (UEPB) [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Resumo A Síndrome de Tourette (ST) é uma síndrome neuropsiquiátrica que integra o espectro dos transtornos de tiques. Tiques são vocalizações ou movimentos involuntários, rápidos, não-rítmicos, repetitivos e estereotipados. Partindo deste pressuposto escolhemos o filme “O Primeiro da Classe”, para melhor entender e compreender como ocorre essa síndrome em Brad e como ele reagiu aos preconceitos encontrados na sociedade. Este artigo tem por objetivo analisar os fatores interligando os conteúdos pesquisados sobre a Tourette com os autores Loureiro (2012), Jankovic (2001) e Metz (2007) e com relação ao filme destacando os planos e sequência mais marcantes do mesmo. Nesta situação o filme supracitado traz uma história biográfica de Brad Cohen que desde os seus sete anos de idade sofre rejeições, tanto das instituições de ensino que estudou, quanto pelo seu pai. Na maior parte das vezes, o preconceito é resultado de falta de informação, desconhecimento, ignorância. De fato, algumas pessoas buscam algum tipo de segurança quando escolhem encapsular a diferença de alguém em algum tipo de rótulo. Essas rejeições se davam porque Brad fazer "barulhos", e as pessoas não entendiam, achava que era uma brincadeira de mau gosto e o desprezavam e o castigavam por isso. Brad nunca foi vítima da sua deficiência.
