Obsessive-compulsive
disorder (OCD) is a psychiatric disorder commonly experienced by adults and
characterized by anxiety inducing, repetitive and annoying thoughts, ideas,
impulses, compulsive and ritual behaviors that significantly impair the daily
functionality of the suffering individual. OCD is also experienced among
children at a significant level and its effects on the psychological state of
individuals may be sustained in the further stages of their lives. The aim of
this review study is to investigate the prevalence, diagnostic criteria and the
causes of obsessive-compulsive disorder in the particular stage of childhood.
Addressing the treatment methods for OCD in childhood is also aimed through
investigation of the cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) which is commonly used
in the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder as a technique that proved to
be effective after experimental researches. The limited number of researches on
the treatment of OCD in childhood with CBT brings about the necessity to
conduct more researches on this topic. Even though CBT’s cognition-oriented
implementation may give the impression that its employment on children with
incomplete cognitive development may not yield the desired effect, adaptation
of the techniques to children and their implementation with entertaining activities
can increase the effectiveness of CBT during the treatment of OCD in childhood.
