Abstract

It is well established that persistent tic disorders (PTD) in youth can negatively affect the entire family system. Although efficacious interventions for reducing tics are available, interventions focused purely on reducing tic severity do not always fully address problems in family functioning. The aim of this chapter is to help clinicians to appreciate the importance of providing comprehensive, family-based clinical care when working with a child with PTD and to provide practical recommendations for how providers can intervene to reduce stress and burden on the family, improve resilience and family functioning, and increase treatment engagement.
