Supplemental Material for Profiles of Family-Based Social Experiences in the First 3 Years Predict Early Cognitive, Behavioral, and Socioemotional Competencies

Background: Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a time-consuming and severe mental illness that causes significant distress and impaired functioning. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of family-based cognitive-behavioral therapy on the symptoms and functions of children with OCD. Materials and Methods: The research plan was single-case or single-subject. The statistical population of this research included all the children with OCD within the age range of 7-12 years who referred to counseling and psychiatric centers in Ahvaz, Iran, in 2020. In total, four children who were diagnosed with OCD were selected by the available sampling method and received family-based cognitive-behavioral therapy intervention in 12 sessions. In this study, the required data were collected using Yale-Brown Child Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Scale and the Child Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Impact Scale. Data analysis was performed using visual charting or graphical analysis methods, reliable change index, and percentage of improvement. Results: The results showed that a reliable change index was significant for symptoms and function in treatment and follow-up (P<0.05). Moreover, the percentage of overall improvement showed the effectiveness of family-based cognitive-behavioral therapy on the symptoms and function of children with OCD in treatment and follow-up stages. All four children were in the successful treatment category based on the Classification of Blanchard. Conclusion: Family-based cognitive-behavioral therapy can be beneficial and effective on the symptoms and function of children with OCD.

Effective treatment requires a team of health professionals working together. Team members should include, at minimum, a physician, a dietitian, and a therapist. Many treatments begin with psychoeducation to explain what maintains purging disorder, the consequences of the illness, and why a chosen therapy facilitates recovery. This chapter describes therapies that have been used to treat patients with purging disorder, including family-based treatment in adolescents, cognitive-behavioral therapy in adolescents and adults, and integrated cognitive affective therapy in adults. Most treatments require adaptation to effectively address purging as a primary symptom rather than as a response to binge eating. At this time, there are no randomized controlled trials focused on treatment for purging disorder. This means clinicians bear the responsibility of identifying a first line of treatment for their patients with purging disorder and evaluating the treatment’s effectiveness.
