Product Description
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is known to affect some 2.3 percent of Americans—about 3.5 million individuals. Research indicates that behavior therapy is among the strongest techniques for managing the disorder. Unfortunately, the exposure techniques used in behavior therapy for OCD are considered too frightening for many sufferers. Although they desperately need help, as many as 25 percent of individuals with OCD refuse behavior therapy out of fear. This book offers a new treatment approach to OCD that avoids exposure techniques. Based on research funded by the National Institutes for Health, it presents for the first time a purely cognitive approach to treating OCD. Not only will these techniques open up psychotherapy to those OCD sufferers who resist exposure-based therapy, but it also shows great promise for those who struggle concurrently with depression, anxiety, and other symptoms. |

Excellent treatment guide by Nancy E. Deren  5 Stars
February 26, 2008
This book provides a thorough overview of the cognitive model of OCD and a method of treatment based on this model. There is a great deal of interesting information from research studies, and a very clear description of a form of treatment that can be used for people who are afraid of or resistant to exposure therapy. The book is a very helpful source of ideas for assisting people in changing the beliefs and thought processes that are exacerbating their OCD.
