Obsessive Compulsive Disorders: The Facts
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 account 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.

Great book!

Excellent book for outlining the basics of obsessive compulsive disorder, especially for patients and their families. Also useful for psychology students wishing to know more about the disorder and treatment options.
For some reason - the price has gone up - still worth it- A+

This book is one of the best books on OCD I have seen. It is perfect for someone who wants to learn about the disease, and 'the facts'. The book can literally 'be judged by its cover'. (...).
