During the recent pandemic obsessive compulsive disorder received special attention by clinicians and researchers. However, besides the challenging environmental circumstances there seems a constant need to reconsider the available therapy techniques especially with children and pre-teens. Conventional clinical practitioners may emphasize on classic cognitive behavioural therapy models which often can be collaborated with other approaches like play therapy to enhance the efficacy of the therapy. In link with this, the present article aims at implying a multimodal approach in the treatment of children diagnosed with obsessive compulsive disorder. Illustration of a case study will assist in investigating effectiveness of the integrative approach in treating the disorder.
