Informative, Thoroughly helpful and compelling, 8 April 2001
By A Customer
I have bought many OCD books, and found this one the most helpful. As well as being thoroughly informative it also has a large section in order for you to work through your particular obsessions and compulsions with the aid of examples from other ocd'ers. The book is like having your own 24hr personal therapist!What I found great was that chapter ten is there for others to read, such as family members and loved ones so that they understand what people with OCD go through. It provides them with a plan if they decide to be helpers and the skills to deal with OCD'ers irrational thoughts. My family are far more supportive and helpful now, after reading chapter ten. If you have OCD, this book will most definately help.

wonderful, 5 Oct 2003
By A Customer
It was such a relief to find this book. As an OCD sufferer I found the author, Lee Baer, to combine great knowledge with compassion and understanding in his book. The book is very well laid out with comprehensive yet simple questionaires and goals to keep you on your path. You are encouraged to be disciplined but not too hard on yourself either. He has worked with OCD sufferers for 20 years and it shows.I urge anyone with OCD to buy this book, even if their symptoms are severe and they are currently working with a therapist.

Excellent, 5 Sep 2003
As an OCD sufferer I can tell that this book is one of the best on the market. It also has references to other useful books such as 'White bears and other unwanted thoughts.' I would however recommend help from a professional aswell. Keep to their homework assignments but read as much as you can on OCD: this will help you see the traps it sets for you. Good luck!
