If you think you have OCD buy this book!
If you have recently discovered you have ocd like myself and your symptoms are not so severe that you can still function you must get this book...I have suffered from ocd for 10 years and in less than 2 weeks I feel better already, the Cognitive behaviour therapy techniques used in the book can be used instantly to change your life. Very straightforward and easy to use, it gets you to write down your obsessions and compulsions thereby releasing them from your mind and onto the paper, and its a lot cheaper than paying a therapist! A good accompaniement is Ian Osborn's "tormenting thoughts and secret rituals"....the only minus side of the book is that they do push medication as almost a neccessity...be cautious...It isn't

Get it!
If you have OCD like myself and struggling with symptons then get this book!

It contains excellent step by step cognitive behavioural therapy processes that help you understand the underlying physiology behind the illness, and that allow you to realize that you can cope and live with OCD. For anyone who has suffered from obsessive compulsive disorder, I really cannot recommend this book any higher. It can help you live your life the way it should be lived. All the best.
