Product Description
In The Imp of the Mind, a leading expert on Obsessive Compulsive Disorder explores the hidden epidemic that afflicts millions of Americans.
In the first book to fully examine obsessive bad thoughts, Dr. Lee Baer combines the latest research with his own extensive experience in treating this widespread syndrome. Drawing on information ranging from new advances in brain technology to pervasive social taboos, Dr. Baer explores the root causes of bad thoughts, why they can spiral out of control, and how to recognize the crucial difference between harmless and dangerous bad thoughts.
An illuminating and accessible guide to the kinds of thoughts that create extreme fear, guilt, and worry, The Imp of the Mind provides concrete solutions to a tormenting and debilitating disorder. Including special sections on the prescription medications that have proven effective, it is "a beautifully written book that can be a great help to people who want to know what to do about obsessions" (Isaac Marks, M.D., author of Living with Fear: Understanding and Coping with Anxiety). |

Very helpful 
Very helpful in letting you know there are other people that have the same thoughts and it's okay!

Finally some help 
This book is very helpful in dealing with silent, bad thoughts. How appropriate to call it "The Imp of the Mind". Until I read this book, I never knew that this obsession is wide-spread. Excellent advice.

Dealing with Bad Thoughts or Postpartum Depression ?
This is the book. Understanding that there are many peolple dealing with the same or similer thoughts was ground breaking for me. It was recommended by Tamara Hartl, my psycologist at the Palo Alto VA Hospital. Along with her counceling, this book was a life saver. Just more tools in the arsenal for overcoming the need to act on bad thoughs connected to OCD.
The book also covers postpartum depression very well. If you're dealing with postpartum depression then this book is a must.

I'm not alone!
Until I read this book, none of the treatments my therapist and I were covering were really sticking. I couldn't identify well with other books because they spent so much time covering compulsions. I kept falling into the spiral of obsessive thoughts and thinking no one would ever really understand what was really going on in my head. I even questioned the doctor's diagnosis. I cried when I read an example of someone going through exactly what has been happening to me, because for the very first time I did not feel alone. I really do have OCD and it is treatable. Thank you Dr. Baer, for writing a book that addresses obsessive thoughts separate from obsessive compulsions.
