Abstract

Habit reversal (HR) is a multicomponent treatment for tic disorders. This case study incorporated elements of HR (awareness training, self-monitoring, response competition), combined with relaxation, as an intervention for vocal and motor tics in a 10-year-old boy with Tourette's syndrome (TS). Therapy was provided on an outpatient basis at a pediatric clinic. In-home data collection by the boy's mother documented decreased tic frequency during the course of treatment. Clinical improvement was maintained at a 3-month follow-up. These results support previous research demonstrating efficacy of simplified HR in controlling multiple tics associated with TS. 10.1177/1534650106286865
