This book offers a clear explanation of the modern treatment
of OCD. I personally expect to recommend it to many of my OCD
patients. It contains clear, step-by-step procedures for exposure
and ritual prevention that are fundamental parts of what we know to
be the most powerful treatment for OCD. In addition, I was pleased
to find step-by-step procedures and examples of how to use
cutting-edge cognitive techniques. The book offers clear
suggestions for working with a variety of forms of OCD, including
scrupulosity, hit and run, and hoarding problems. This book should
be helpful to people who need to do self-directed treatment as well
as to therapists who can use the examples and steps to treat OCD
effectively.
