Full Description
This therapist guide addresses the treatment of Tourette syndrome (TS) in children and adults. The goal of this 11-session program is to teach the patient effective tic management skills rather than to cure the tic disorder. Complete with step-by-step instructions for running sessions, as well as lists of materials needed, session outlines, and copies of forms necessary for treatment, this therapist guide provides all the information needed to successfully treat tic disorders.
Now into its second edition, this well-established treatment protocol is now recognized as a first-line treatment for tics in individuals across the world and outlines the protocol for the Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics (CBIT). Written by the treatment developers, this book provides not only the technical knowledge of how the treatment can be effectively implemented, but also includes the collected wisdom from nearly 20 years of treating patients with the protocol. This updated protocol is a must have for anyone treating individuals with tic disorders.
Also available is an updated and revised corresponding workbook for parents and their children, as well as the original workbook designed specifically for adolescent and adult clients.
