Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) comprises both cognitive and behavioral components. It is not surprising, therefore, that there has been a considerable emphasis on applying cognitive-behavioral techniques in the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder for the past 20 or so years. Although a great number of individuals afflicted with obsessive-compulsive disorder are suffering from cognitive symptoms, the success rate in using traditional cognitive-behavioral techniques in targeting these covert symptoms has unfortunately been somewhat low. This article provides a case study utilizing a cognitive-behavioral treatment used to successfully treat obsessive-compulsive disorder in a 10-year-old Caucasian male with severe “just right” cognitive compulsions. Treatment outcome is discussed in terms of various assessment measures administered at pre-treatment, post-treatment, and 3-month follow-up, as well as weekly monitoring forms.

New Guidelines

The Brazilian Sleep Association brought together specialists in sleep medicine, in order to develop new guidelines on the diagnosis and treatment of insomnias. The following subjects were discussed: concepts, clinical and psychosocial evaluations, recommendations for polysomnography, pharmacological treatment, behavioral and cognitive therapy, comorbidities and insomnia in children. Four levels of evidence were envisaged: standard, recommended, optional and not recommended. For diagnosing of insomnia, psychosocial and polysomnographic investigation were recommended. For non-pharmacological treatment, cognitive behavioral treatment was considered to be standard, while for pharmacological treatment, zolpidem was indicated as the standard drug because of its hypnotic profile, while zopiclone, trazodone and doxepin were recommended.
