[QUOTE="Josie, post: 249024, member: 1792"] in my humble opinion, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) needs a different approach than Basket A or C. For other issues, The Explosive Child might work, but the trouble with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is that if you give in to the rituals, it makes the Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) stronger. They are also unable to negotiate on their compulsions and rituals so Basket B doesn't come into play. I am not saying that you should refuse to go along with any part of it, but that you should work up to doing less and less of it. Your daughter will need to be somewhat on board with the idea but there will be a lot of anxiety along the way. Some kids need medicine if the anxiety is overwhelming. Treatment for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is CBT and ERP (Exposure and Ritual Prevention) where they are prevented from doing their compulsion, feel the anxiety, see that it goes away and they can cope, and learn to deal with it. A good book to read about Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) in kids is "What to do When Your Child Has Obsessive Compulsive Disorder" by Dr. Aureen Wagner. I speak from experience at letting it get out of hand. Some times, it seems there is no choice but to go along. However, I have been sleeping in my daughter's room since November because of her Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). You can imagine what this is doing to my relationship with my husband. I have experienced the ERP working in the past with her. She used to be obsessed with zombies and was afraid to go anywhere in the house by herself. I had her sit and look at some scary pictures from horror movies. She was not really in agreement about this but I insisted because it was driving me crazy to have her follow me around. I only had to do it a few times before she was no longer afraid of them. It lasted for a couple of years until this new fear came up. [/QUOTE]
