Treatment of scrupulosity-related obsessive-compulsive disorder
Jedidiah Siev and J. D. Huppert
This handbook examines evidence-based treatment of obsessive-compulsive and related disorders for a broad clinical audience. Focusing on both children and adults with these conditions, it discusses various manifestations of OCD (e.g., contamination, perfectionism), related conditions (e.g., hoarding, trichotillomania, and Tourette syndrome), and cases with complicating factors. Chapters describe case specifics, offer assessment guidelines, and illustrate evidence-based psychotherapy. Case examples depict real-life complexities of presentation, notably in terms of comorbid conditions and hard-to-treat subpopulations.
Topical areas addressed in the Handbook include:
- Phenomenology, assessment, and treatment of multiple types of OCD in adults and children.
- Treating “not just right experiences” in children with OCD.
- Treating obsessive compulsive disorder in very young children.
- Treatment of OCD comorbid with other disorders like depression and Autism Spectrum Disorder.
- Treatment of OCD when presenting with complicating factors like limited insight, extreme family accommodation, and poor motivation.
The Clinical Handbook of Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders is an essential resource for clinicians and professionals as well as researchers, and graduate students in clinical psychology, psychiatry, social work, counseling programs, pediatrics, public health, and related disciplines.

An essential resource for anyone providing help or services to women at risk for
alcohol-exposed pregnancies.
Drinking during pregnancy can cause a range of disabilities that have lifelong
effects yet are 100% preventable. A variety of brief motivational behavioral interventions
developed for nonpregnant women of childbearing age can effectively
prevent alcohol-exposed pregnancies (AEP).
This book outlines clinical definitions and the history of fetal alcohol spectrum
disorders (FASD), epidemiology and effects across the lifespan, evidence-based
prevention practices such as CHOICES and CHOICES-like interventions, and
opportunities for dissemination.
Based on decades of scientific research and clinical refinement, this volume is
packed with helpful illustrative case vignettes, therapist patient dialogues, sample
forms, and handouts. The information and resources presented will help a
wide variety of practitioners in diverse settings, ranging from high-risk settings
such as mental health and substance abuse treatment centers to primary care
clinics and universities, deliver interventions targeting behavior change. -

Best Practices for the Mentally Ill in the Criminal Justice System
Lenore Walker, James Pann, David L. Shapiro, and Vincent B. Van Hasselt
This timely brief resource introduces a new evidence-based model for treatment of mentally ill individuals in jails, with emphasis on community-based options. Forensic mental health experts review police alternatives to arresting mentally ill persons in confrontations, the efficacy of problem-solving courts, and continuity of care between jail and community. The book's best-practices approach extends to frequently related issues such as addiction, domestic violence, juvenile considerations, and trauma and describes successful programs coordinating judicial and clinical systems. These guidelines for decriminalizing non-violent behaviors and making appropriate services available to those with mental problems should also help address issues affecting the justice system, such as overcrowding.
Included in the coverage:
- The Best Practices Model.
- Best practices in law enforcement crisis interventions with the mentally ill.
- Problem-solving courts and therapeutic jurisprudence.
- Competency restoration programs.
- A review of best practices for the treatment of persons with mental illness in jail.
- Conclusions, recommendations, and helpful appendices.
With its practical vision for systemic improvement, Best Practices Model for Intervention with the Mentally Ill in the Criminal Justice System is progressive reading for practitioners in the mental health field, especially practitioners working with inmates, as well as for stakeholders in the law enforcement and justice systems.

Commercial sexual exploitation of children
Brandy Bang, Paige L. Baker, Alexis Carpinteri, and Vincent B. Van Hasselt
Biological, psychological, and environmental risk factors leave children and adolescents vulnerable to corruption, coercion, and violence, as in cases of young people being trafficked and sexually exploited. While the public tends to associate such abuses with far-off locales, the numbers of American-born children targeted by sex traffickers, and of international youth brought to the U.S. by these exploiters, are growing and disturbing.
Concise and well-detailed, Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children examines the severity and complexity of this form of crime, and how it is being addressed through law enforcement and legal channels. The book examines variables that make children susceptible to exploitation, with a special focus on male victims. Mechanisms of the offenses are covered, as are the current state of federal laws and strengths and shortcomings of prosecution efforts. Real-life case examples from federal law enforcement describe major forms of exploitation and victim and offender characteristics, with clear focus on such areas as:
- Sex trafficking risk factors.
- Methods of victimization by child prostitution.
- Consumers, traders, and distributors of child pornography.
- Offender networks in child pornography.
- The preferential sex tourist.
- Enticement/grooming processes of the sex traveler.
Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children is a ready source of facts geared toward assisting professionals on the frontlines of intervention and prevention with this often-marginalized population, from health care and mental health providers and researchers to legislative bodies and law enforcement, as well as students interested in criminal justice, psychology, or law.
