As a therapist treating mostly adults with OCD, I have found this book the most comprehensive of all of them. It gets at the fundamental flaw of OCD thinking which is the intolerance of uncertainty. Explains things very thoroughly,and his reasoning can be applied to just about all forms of the disease.

Dr. Grayson takes an interesting approach to the treatment of OCD. Practitioners of meditation will recognize the similarity to that discipline.

Uncertainty Doesn't Capture All of OCD by Bobby Rebo (Washington, D.C.)

Yes, doubt and uncertainty are the hallmarks of OCD. Yet, this book indicates that cognitive changes about the hallmarks must come first for OCD treatment outcome to be successful. That is only part of the story. Behavioral change necessarily leads to healthy cognitive change; cognitive change does not necessarily lead to behavior change. Do you want to stop washing your hands or just think that it makes more sense to do so?

Uncertainty is absolutely the hallmark of OCD. But, by behaving in a non-ritualistic way, I've been able to change the way I think about my doubts. This is a good book, but like many others the content is not consistent with my experience. That's why I bought The Boy Who Finally Stopped Washing.
