The coexistence of trichotillomania and autistic disorder has rarely been reported in psychiatric literature. The current study describes successful treatment of trichotillomania in a young autistic girl, using combined clomipramine and behavioral therapy. Neither behavioral therapy, clomipramine, methylphenidate, buspirone, nor naltrexone was effective in monotherapeutic trials. We postulate a synergistic effect of combined treatment with clomipramine and behavioral therapy, suggesting that both pharmacological and behavioral treatment of hair pulling may be necessary for many patients. This model is consistent with the extant literature and suggests that future clinical trials of clomipramine for trichotillomania, in both developmentally disabled and normal subjects, must evaluate this multimodal approach.
