Outcomes of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder in a Clinical Setting: A 10-Year Experience from a Specialist OCD Service for Children and AdolescentsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Controlled studies show that cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) is an efficacious treatment for young people with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). More evidence is needed for effectiveness in clinical settings. We conducted a case note review of 318 patients attending an OCD clinic.

Following acute treatment, total CYBOCS (Children Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale) score was significantly reduced (22.6 to 10.9, p = .0001). Gains were maintained at long-term follow-up. Our results suggest that CBT is an effective treatment for child and adol...
