Tics affect more than 10% of the population, and can be an unpleasant and disruptive problem. They include chronic tic disorder, Tourette?s syndrome and habit disorders such as hair pulling, nail biting and scratching. Treatment is either by medication (without convincing evidence) or psychological means. Before the introduction of habit reversal psychologists had no real alternatives to offer, and even this method lacks evidence for its efficacy and is not widely used. Illustrated throughout with case study examples and containing detailed guidelines for patient and therapist on the use of CBT, this book provides a comprehensive review of what is known about the occurrence and diagnosis of tics. Kieron O'Connor explores the various theories currently available to explain the causes and progression of these disorders, and discusses the assessment and treatment options available. Finally he takes the most widely accepted psychological therapy ? cognitive behaviour therapy - and applies it for the first time to the treatment of tics.

A pioneering guide for the management of tics and habit disorders Managing Tic and Habit Disorders: A Cognitive Psychophysiological Approach with Acceptance Strategies is a complete client and therapist program for dealing with tics and habit disorders. Groundbreaking and evidence-based, it considers tics and habit disorders as part of the same spectrum and focuses on the personal processes that are activated prior to a tic and habit rather than the tic or habit itself. By drawing on acceptance and mindfulness strategies to achieve mental and physical flexibility in preparing action, individuals can release unnecessary tension, expend less effort and ultimately establish control over their tic or habit. The authors explain how to identify the contexts of thoughts, feelings and activities that precede tic or habit onset, understand how self-talk and language can trigger tic onset, and move beyond unhelpful ways of dealing with emotions - particularly in taking thoughts about emotions literally. They also explore how individuals can plan action more smoothly by drawing on existing skills and strengths, and overcome shame by becoming less self-critical and more self-compassionate. They conclude with material on maintaining gains, developing new goals, and creating a more confident and controlled lifestyle. Managing Tic and Habit Disorders is a thoughtful and timely guide for those suffering from this sometimes all-consuming disorder, and the professionals who set out to help them.

La plupart des gens ont des exemples de leur entourage ou de la scène publique de personnes atteintes de cette étrange maladie traditionnellement appelée « danse de saint Guy », mais qu'on désigne désormais Syndrome de Gilles de la Tourette (SGT), du nom du médecin qui en a fait, le premier, une description scientifique. Cette affection nerveuse était caractérisée à l'origine par trois symptômes: une incoordination motrice, de l'écholalie (répétition automatique de sons ou de mots déjà entendus) et de la coprolalie (impulsion à dire des mots orduriers, scatologiques ou blasphématoires).
Jusqu'à présent, aucun livre de langue française ne permettait de faire le point des connaissances actuelles sur le syndrome de Gilles de la Tourette. Voilà pourquoi trois spécialistes des domaines de la psychologie et de la psychopathologies rattachés au Centre de recherche Fernand-Seguin, de l'hôpital Louis-H. Lafontaine, ont préparé cet ouvrage.
Préfacé par la directrice de l'Association québécoise du syndrome de la Tourette, Mme Martine Fradet, ce livre se veut un outil essentiel pour la famille, les intervenants et les professionnels afin d'approfondir la compréhension clinique du syndrome.
Il tient compte de la réalité francophone tout en intégrant les connaissances internationales concernant le syndrome de Gilles de la Tourette. Il se distingue également par l'attention particulière portée aux manifestations cliniques et comportementales chez les enfants, les adolescents et les adultes ayant le syndrome.
