title = "Behavior therapy for tics and tic disorders",
abstract = "Although Tourette{\textquoteright}s syndrome and related tic disorders have been historically managed with pharmacotherapy, behavior therapy presents an evidence-based alternative that yields moderate-to-large treatment effects. This article provides an overview of behavior therapy for tics and Tourette{\textquoteright}s syndrome, reviews the empirical support for behavior therapy in the management of tic symptoms, and discusses common clinician misperceptions regarding behavior therapy for tics. The article concludes with a discussion on the challenges of using behavior therapy to manage tic symptoms, and presents possible solutions.",
