    Ego-dystonic harming obsessions
    Anxiety Specialist · 03/07/04 at 1:03 PM ET

    If you are are confident that the patient is no longer at risk for acting out her urges, treatment protocols (e.g. Exposure with Response Prevention) for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder would be indicated.

    See the work of Foa, Wilson, Grayson, Schwartz, Phillipson, Steketee.

    www.ocfoundation.org has some excellent resources.

    Also, consider recommending the serotonergic medications - SSRI's or Chlomipramine.
