About the Author

Mack Ethridge is a professional writer/researcher/educator, as well as a life-long psychology major, who has devoted thousands of hours to the study of Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder, and draws upon his 1st-hand observations of this disorder in action. What distinguishes his writings is his refreshingly holistic (inter-disciplinary) approach and profound depth of understanding regarding OCPD, which frankly, is simply not evident in other treatment regimens. The result is an attractive, readily adaptable program appealing to all personality types. He has, also, pioneered methods and techniques of how best to interact with people suffering from its debilitating social effects. Not a stranger to the medical field, Mack's talents have been utilized by one of America's best hospitals of nationally recognized excellence, and by an internationally esteemed medical reporting agency. Further, Mack has edited such prestigious periodicals as The Journal of Neurosurgery, of world-wide circulation; as well as such notable publications as The Comprehensive Survey of Doctorate Recipients, of National Academy of Sciences fame; and, as a career editor, has received multiple commendations and awards. As a skilled communicator, he wrote and published a world-wide newsletter, The ABP Monitor, of multiple thousand subscribers teaching them how to evaluate personal and professional business partnerships with discriminating insight and wisdom. Lastly, Mack has personally experienced the relationship-crippling characteristics of OCPD behaviors by a relative over a period of several years, and through this Research Report, seeks to equip those who encounter such behaviors with the prerequisite knowledge and tools necessary to successfully withstand them, and to best ensure the most beneficial, healthful, and long-term interpersonal outcomes. Mack is, also, one of the few recognized lay experts in America on this most-distressing personality disorder known as OCPD. His writings on this, and other health-related concerns, are known on three continents. (Mack has authored fourteen OCPD books, to date; others planned.) Postscript: Mack's eagerly awaited sequel to 'Escaping', entitled 'OCPD's Only Hope of Psychological Wellness - The One Scientific Plan Capable of Progressively Freeing the OCPD Bound, ' directed to the OCPD person herself (or himself), and formulated with the oversight and input of several prominent psychologists, is now available for purchase through Amazon
