Abstract:
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is an extremely common form of child and adolescent psychopathology. Obsessive-compulsive disorder in children and adolescents has garnered a significant amount of attention from mental health practitioners and mental health researchers over the past decades. In order to provide a comprehensive account of this attention, the phenomenology, theoretical perspectives, empirical literature and interventions used to treat OCD in children and adolescents are reviewed in this paper. While by no means an exhaustive review, the information presented in this paper provides health and mental health professionals interested in OCD in children and adolescents with the knowledge required to enhance their understanding of this complicated form of child and adolescent psychopathology.
