4.0 out of 5 stars A much needed book for family members who live with OCD., 1 Dec 1998
By A Customer
At last a book for those who live with the torments of OCD! No longer is it necessary for families to surrender to OCD, to give up their freedom. This book gives hope to the family members and offers clear, concise ways to promote healing while living with OCD.

New Hope for the Families should be read by all professionals to reminded them that OCD is a family illness; professional must treat the entire family, not just the individual with the OCD. Herb identifies the pain and frustration of the family as they deal with the uncomfortable issues of this disorder and offers great suggestions to help families move beyond the influence of OCD.

This book is a must read for every family living under the web of OCD. Order your copy now.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dr. Gravitz knew our family's OCD experience, 22 Nov 1998
By A Customer
The first time I read Obsessive Compulsive Disorder New Help for the Family, I could not believe that a total stranger knew so much about our family experience with OCD. For three years my focus had been on getting rid of my daughter's OCD and it wasn't working. In a loving and non-threatening way, Dr. Gravitz's book helped me to see that OCD does not have to ruin lives but can actually strengthen them. I feel that everything I need to know to achieve this strength is discussed in Obsessive Compulsive Disorder New Help for the Family. My initial reading brought a feeling of relief that someone actually understood what was happening and how I felt. Carefully and privately I was able to examine my role in my daughter's illness. The good news was I finally had something to work on that I had some degree of control over which was myself. In fact, I still do and this will be an ongoing process for me. I am grateful to have Dr. Gravitz's book to refer to on a regular basis. I believe that benefits will continue to come from practice, growth and changing old patterns that aren't working into new patterns of strength.
