This case report illustrates the management of a patient with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder who presented with hypochondriacal and persecutory ideas. Cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy approaches were applied in the management as the patient not keen for pharmacological treatment. Obsessive thoughts were managed via distraction technique, thought stopping and modified it to a more helpful compulsive behavior via direct suggestion during hypnotic state. The compulsive behavior was managed via hypno-behavioural approaches, reinforced by direct suggestion and pseudo-orientation in time. The Subjective Unit of Distress Scale (SUDS), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) scales were used to measure the progress of anxiety and depressive symptoms.

AbstractFamily accommodation in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) refers to a condition in which a family member assists or facilitates the patient with OCD in performing the compulsion, or provides assurance to minimize or reduce the anxiety level. This condition can be significantly disabling to the individual as well as to the family dynamic. In this case report, a mother of a 14-year-old female patient carried out almost all the compulsive behaviours and rituals for her child. Family-based cognitive behavioural therapy was offered to this case over a 4-month period with a successful treatment outcome. This result provides initial evidence that this type of intervention is suitable for patients from Saudi Arabia, a non-Western culture.

We report a case of a geriatric male patient who presented with unique features of obsessive-compulsive disorder revolving around religious and sexual themes. Psychodynamic therapy, instead of the traditional choice of cognitive behavioural therapy, was successfully used in conjunction with pharmacotherapy, leading to an improvement in symptoms.

Tourette syndrome (TS) is a neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by a combination of multiple motor tics and at least one phonic tic. TS patients often have associated behavioral abnormalities such as obsessive compulsive disorder, attention deficit and hyperactive disorder. Coprolalia, defined as emission of obscenities or swearing, is one type of complex vocal tic, present in 8% to 26% of patients. The pathophysiology of coprolalia and other complex phonic tics remains ill-defined. We report a patient whose complex phonic tic was characterized by repetitively saying "breast cancer" on seeing the son of aunt who suffered from this condition. The patient was unable to suppress the tic and did not meet criteria for obsessive compulsive disorder. The phenomenology herein described supports the theory that complex phonic tics result from disinhibition of the loop connecting the basal ganglia with the limbic cortex.
