Barn- och ungdomspsykiatrin i Stockholm och Karolinska Institutet genomför ett forskningsprojekt för att undersöka internet-förmedlad KBT – Kognitiv Beteendeterapi. I det här projektet riktar vi oss till ungdomar
12 – 17 år som lider av återkommande obehagliga tvångstankar och/eller återkommande ritualer eller tvångshandlingar. Vanliga tvångshandlingar är till exempel att gång på gång kontrollera att spisen är avstängd, att tvätta händerna upprepade gånger eller att på ett tvångsmässigt sätt arrangera saker symmetriskt.
Studiedeltagare kommer att få tillgång till ett KBT behandlingsprogram på nätet. Behandlingen är kostnadsfri och pågår i 12 veckor under våren 2013.
