There is substantial evidence for the etiological and phenomenological overlap between Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and Tic Disorders. In 2005, the presenter formally introduced the term Tourettic OCD (TOCD) into the professional literature. The TOCD framework shares features with other formulations such as “tic-related OCD”, “just-right OCD”, “sensory-motor OCD” and with “complex tics”. Yet TOCD has unique characteristics and broader implications for understanding this cluster of clinical characteristics and for modifying standard CBT treatment to better serve this clinical subtype. This presentation aims to provide therapists with guidance for identifying such individuals, and with recommendations for providing them with effective treatment. The presenter will describe the conceptual model of “Tourettic OCD” as a coherent and valuable framework that guides clinical decision-making and effective treatment for these clients.
