Family-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Youth With Misophonia: A Case Report

Misophonia is a common condition that causes significant distress and impairment for patients and families. Despite the growing body of literature, most treatment descriptions do not incorporate objective assessment measures or detail techniques to involve family members in addressing misophonia. This case report provides a step-by-step family-based cognitive-behavioral approach to treat youth with misophonia, uses objective rating scales to monitor therapeutic improvement, and elicits feedback on the therapeutic skills used between therapy sessions. It also provides guidance on implementing inhibitory learning exposures for youth with misophonia.
