XI Psychological Treatment of OBSESSIVE- COMPULSIVE DISORDER INTRODUCTION MARTIN M. ANTONY, CHRISTINE PURDON, AND LAURA J. SUMMERFELDT Until the mid-1960s, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) was con- sidered to be a relatively untreatable condition. In the brief span of time since then, the empirical and clinical literature have converged to point to cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) as among the most effective psycho- logical interventions available for any psychiatric condition. Despite the widely recognized efficacy of behavioral and cognitive treatments for OCD, however, clinicians and researchers acknowledge that there are major chal- lenges to implementing them successfully. In their meta-analysis of treatment outcomes for OCD, Eddy, Dutra, Bradley, and Westen (2004) observed that about half of the patients who applied for psychological treatment were excluded from the studies exam- ined. Moreover, despite impressive group effect sizes, only about half of those who were included in treatment efficacy studies showed clinical improve- ment, and only one quarter recovered completely. Of equal concern, many individuals entering therapy did not complete it, although roughly two thirds of those who did complete treatment improved. In short, at each step of the treatment process, it appears that a substan- tial portion of the OCD population fails to benefit from the most effective psychological treatment available. One reason for this poor outcome may be 3 the fact that OCD is a complex and heterogeneous disorder that may not lend itself well to generic interventions. It is also associated with features that can substantially complicate the design, application, and delivery of treatment, such as treatment ambivalence, poor insight, and high comorbidity. Obsessive-compulsive disorder is also a disorder that occurs at many points across the life span, which again may compromise the success

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.

Streptococcus pyogenes infection associated with tics, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and chorea co-occur- rence is important. Swedo et al. have increased the awareness of this situation since 1998. How streptococcal infections give rise to this condition is not clear yet, but the severity of the symptoms is reduced by the treatment of streptococcal infections is important. Eight-year- nine-month-old girl presented with complaints of a 2-year history of upper respiratory tract infections and increased severity of blinking of eyes, throat cleaning, tic disorder and obsession with hand cleaning. In addition, choreiform movements were present and fluoxetine did not improve the symptoms. The patient was followed-up and treated with PANDAS pre-diagnosis. Streptococcus treatment and prophylaxis decreased the patient’s complaints. A six-year-four months old boy, admitted with abnormal hand and body movements, which increased severity after the school period, and causing deteriorated fine motor skills during infectious periods for two years. There were also complaints with vocal tics and obsessive-compulsive disorder in the form of throat cleaning. Treatment of S. pyogenes was administered in throat culture.

  • How a Controversial Condition Called PANDAS Is Gaining Ground on Autism
    Spectrum | Autism Research News https://www.spectrumnews.org DEEP DIVE How a controversial condition called PANDAS is gaining ground on autism BY BRENDAN BORRELL 8 JANUARY 2020 Illustration and animation by Vanessa Branchi Adam Elliott was 2 years old when his parents began to suspect he might have autism. Adam had trouble making eye contact — one telltale sign of the condition — and there were other hints as well. He was a calm, inquisitive child most of the time, but some days at preschool, he would become unfocused and uncoordinated, fumbling with scissors as he tried to cut paper for art projects. By the time Adam entered elementary school, his traits had worsened. He began to experience severe separation anxiety and sensory overload in the noisy classroom. He became aggressive. When he was 6, for example, he believed his best friend was saying nasty things about him and scratched the friend in the face with a pencil. At home, Adam would often walk in circles, filled with anxiety. He eventually became so afraid that his food was poisoned, he refused to eat for long periods of time. Adam’s parents took him to a dozen different specialists during this time, including occupational therapists and psychologists. None were willing to attach a label to Adam’s condition, recalls his mother, Wendy Elliott. One doctor diagnosed Adam with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and prescribed amphetamine/dextroamphetamine (Adderall), but it did little to quell the boy’s obsessive thoughts and behaviors. By 2015, when Adam was 8, Elliott began to fear she might have to have him hospitalized.

Its pathophysiology remains unclear. PANDAS has been proposed to result from cross-reactivity of antibodies raised against GABHS with brain antigens, but the targets of these antibodies are unclear and may be heterogeneous. We developed an in vivo assay in mice to characterize the cellular targets of antibodies in serum from individuals with PANDAS. We focus on striatal interneurons, which have been implicated in the pathogenesis of tic disorders. Sera from children with well-characterized PANDAS (n = 5) from a previously described clinical trial (NCT01281969), and matched controls, were infused into the striatum of mice; antibody binding to interneurons was characterized using immunofluorescence and confocal microscopy.

  • OCD and Streptococcal Infections Linked
    Child & Adolescent Action Center Kids Newsletter Education/Transition Faith Communities Youth Services Youth Research Depression Awareness First Person Local Contacts Brochures/Factsheets Reading List Internet Resources State/Affiliate Programs OCD and Streptococcal Infections Linked As reported in an article in the Psychiatric Times (December 1997), obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) among children is "remarkably common." According to author Arline Kaplan, the prevalence is one in 100. Focusing on new pharmacological treatment options for children ad adolescents, the article further reported that ".the new drug approval study conducted by Solvay Pharmaceuticals demonstrated that Luvoxr (fluvoxamine) was 'statistically better than placebo for children with OCD.' This was demonstrated by the participant's scores on the Children's Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale and National Institute of Mental Health's Global Obsessive-Compulsive Scale. Of particular interest to parents are the findings of the reports that showed that adverse events among children were about equivalent for two groups; only four patients dropped the study, one on placebo and three on fluvoxamine. What is perhaps even more encouraging ins the work of Susan Swedo, M.D., and Judith Rapoport, M.D., and their colleagues at NIMH who have in their research demonstrated a link between autoimmunity and OCD. According to the Psychiatric Times article, "There is an increasing body of data that suggests there may be a relationship between certain forms of childhood-onset OCD and previous Group A beta-hemolytic streptococcal infections. There seem to be a group of children that have early-onset OCD, tic disorder, Sydenham's chorea and family history of tics." Sydenham's chorea is a major manifestation of rheumatic fever and a disorder generally limited to prepubertal children.
