VoIP Delivered Behavior Therapy for Tourette Syndrome

CBIT is an 8-session 10-week behavioral treatment for chronic tic disorders, including Tourette Syndrome. The first two sessions are 90 minutes, with subsequent sessions lasting 60 minutes. The treatment consists of Habit Reversal Training (awareness training, competing response training, and social support), and function-based assessment to reduce the impact of environmental or other stimuli on tic severity. The treatment also consists of relaxation techniques to reduce tic-related stress and tension, and behavioral rewards to motivate treatment compliance.
