Biological treatments can consist in exploring the possibility of organic causes for illness e.g. seizure disorder, anemia, electrolyte abnormalities etc. and biological treatments e.g. medications. The psychological treatments focus on psychotherapy e.g. Individual or group therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Exposure Response Prevention, Play Therapy, Applied Behavioral Analysis etc. Social treatments can include testing, government assistance, school support etc. Spiritual treatments would be centered on encouraging the patient's own higher power beliefs which have been shown in research articles to help in the healing process e.g. AA the number one treatment for alcohol dependence.
