title: The treatment of fetishism in an adolescent with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
abstract: Fetishism is characterized by recurrent, intense sexual fantasy or behavior involving the use of nonliving objects, such as women's undergarments, over a period of at least six months. This disorder occurs mostly in males and usually begins in adolescence. The neurobiological etiologies of fetishism remain unclear, and studies on treatment were limited. We present a 14- year-old boy with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder with fetishistic behavior who was treated successfully with 36 mg extended-release methylphenidate daily and 4 months of cognitive-rational emotive psychotherapy.
