Cognitive-Behaviour Therapy (CBT) has been established as an effective treatment for child and adolescent Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). However, developmental needs and symptom presentation often mandate therapeutic interventions that are beyond conventional CBT protocols. This paper presents a case report of CBT with an adolescent girl with sexual obsessions. Aspects unique to adolescence, sexual obsessions, and parenting are found to mediate treatment processes and outcome.
