Product Description

Review
From the review of the previous edition: This compact book was written for persons with OCD and their families and friends...de Silva and Rachman have written a small, and interesting book on a complicated and not very well understood clinical problem.

Product Description
Obsessive-compulsive disorder is a relatively common psychological problem, whose symptoms may include excessive hand-washing or other cleansing rituals, extreme slowness, compulsive checking of tasks performed, or repugnant, intrusive thoughts. In this book, the authors draw on their extensive clinical experience to give a lucid accounr of the nature of obsessive-compulsive behaviour. The book is intended both for those who have this disorder and for their families and friends. It is full of up-to-date information about the nature, symptoms, types, causes, treatments, and theories of obsessive-compulsive disorder. The authors look at the full range of therapies available, and provide invaluable practical advice for those who may need help. Numerous case histories are given throughout the book, highlighting various aspects of OCD and its treatment. New to this edition are extensive new sections on compulsive hoarding, obsessive slowness, and obsessive-compulsive behaviour in children. Both authors are clinical psychologists who have extensive clinical and research experience in this field.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good as a beginning, 7 Sep 2003
This book is useful if you don't know much about OCD. However, most of the information can be found for free on the OCF's website or the Obsessive action website. As a sufferer, I think Lee Baer's 'Getting control' and 'The Imp of the Mind' are much better as they have in depth examples and treatment strategies.
