OBJECTIVE: To use a pharmacobehavioural approach employing modified techniques of exposure, prevention of the response, and thought stopping in the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder in a 9-year-old girl.METHODS: The diagnosis of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) was made based on the DSM-IV criteria. The patient was seen over 15 sessions, during which clomipramine was introduced and modified techniques of exposure, prevention of the response, and thought stopping were successively used. Follow-up extended over more than 18 months after the end of the therapy.RESULTS: The patient learned and used the behavioural techniques easily, and we observed a rapid, complete, and sustained disappearance of the obsessive-compulsive symptomatology.CONCLUSIONS: Use of a pharmacobehavioural approach in treating OCD in young children remains limited. Techniques used with adults and slightly modified to adapt them for children are, in our view, an avenue of treatment worth exploring.
