Predictors of Parental Accommodation and Response Treatment in Young Children With Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
Background: Cognitive–behavioral family-based treatment (CBFT) is the treatment standard in very young children with obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD), which includes the same core components of cognitive–behavioral therapy (CBT) with significant family involvement. Although the latter reports hig...
