Of note, other detrimental, traumatic life events of a psychological or social nature have been associated with OCD with different possible implications. For instance, one study compared patients with OCD plus post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) who developed OCD after clinically significant trauma (designated "post-traumatic OCD") to general OCD patients in terms of sociodemographic and clinical features. Compared with general OCD patients, "Post-traumatic OCD" presented several phenotypic differences such as: later age at onset of obsessions; increased rates of some obsessive-compulsive dimensions (such as aggressive and symmetry features); increased rates of mood, anxiety, impulse-control and tic disorders; greater "suicidality and severity of depressive and anxiety symptoms; and a more frequent family history of PTSD, major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder." 79,126 One study of a treatment-resistant OCD subgroup found that all subjects who met formal criteria for OCD and comorbid PTSD had PTSD onset that preceded OCD onset.127

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.

This volume in the Advances in Psychotherapy series is a thorough guide to the effective diagnosis and empirically supported treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder. The authors review the DSM-5 and ICD-10 diagnostic criteria, current theories and models, prevalence rates, and comorbidity, and provide a well-thought out examination of current treatments. "All of the books in this series are written for a wide range of mental health professionals, but psychologists and psychiatrists will benefit the most from the wealth of knowledge in this volume. Another wonderful feature of these books is their usefulness across clinical, research, and academic settings."Nicholas Greco IV, MS, BCETS, CATSM, Columbia College of Missouri, in DOODY'S BOOK REVIEWS, 2015

Application of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) for treating obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) has been promising and approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 2018, but effects differ between patients. Knowledge about clinical predictors of rTMS response may help to increase clinical efficacy but is not available so far.
