| Popis: | Tourette syndrome (TS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that is characterized by vocal and motor tics. Children with TS often also exhibit disruptive behaviors including sudden anger outbursts accompanied by verbal and physical aggression. This case study presents cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) treatment of anger and aggression in a 9-year-old girl with TS, co-occurring generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), and oppositional defiant disorder (ODD). At initial assessment, tics were well-managed and disruptive behavior concerns, including near-daily tantrums lasting 20 min to 1 hr, were primary clinical concerns. The child and her mother received 12 weekly sessions of CBT for anger and aggression, with select supplements and modifications that related to the context of TS. Posttreatment assessment indicated a significant decrease in noncompliance, anger outbursts, and aggressive behavior. CBT for anger and aggression can be a useful treatment for the disruptive behaviors that often co-occur with TS. |
