Product Description

Review

"This book is exceptional in that it has practical benefits for both obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) sufferers and for clinicians. For sufferers, it serves as a self-help treatment guide for understanding the disorder and using proven treatment techniques to bring about symptom reduction. For clinicians, it serves as a treatment manual that can assist in making the initial diagnosis, identifying the particular OCD subtype, and developing a successful treatment plan."
--Paul R. Munford, Ph.D., director of the intensive outpatient treatment program at the Cognitive Behavior Therapy Center for OCD and Anxiety in San Rafael, CA, author of "Overcoming Compulsive Washing"

"More than just a workbook, this work by Hyman and Pedrick defines and demystifies obsessive-compulsive disorder. In addition, it offers therapists and patients a highly specific and useful treatment program. "The OCD Workbook "should be an important addition to your collection of OCD treatment literature."
--Robert H. Ackerman, MSW, clinical assistant professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the State University of New York, Health Science Center at Brooklyn

A Godsend! 14 April 2001
Format:Paperback
For anyone who has suffered from and been in the grips of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, you will, as I have, find true relief in this book. It contains excellent step by step cognitive behavioural therapy processes that help you understand the underlying physiology behind the illness, and that allow you to realize that you can cope and live with OCD. For anyone who has suffered from obsessive compulsive disorder, I really cannot recommend this book any higher. It can help you live your life the way it should be lived. All the best.

I bought this book as a novice therapist, wanting something to use that is practical and straight forward. The fact that the book is written from a patients' and clinicians' viewpoint add value to it. I especially like the fact that family involvement is discussed in detail and healthy and unhealthy support are highlighted. Reassurance which often colludes with OCD is also discussed in a gentle and compassionate way - including tips of how to reduce unhealthy ways of support. Also valuable is the chapter on mindfulness. It is one of the few books discussing religious scruples and choosing the right therapist. I would recommend it for therapists and clients.

Today, we have seven medications that help correct such a chemical imbalance: clomipramine (Anafranil), fluoxetine (Prozac), fluvoxamine (Luvox), paroxetine (Paxil), citalopram (Celexa), escitalopram (Lexapro), and sertraline (Zoloft). &quote;
