Obsessive-compulsive disorders (OCD) can be crippling.

People with OCD may be unable to leave their homes, to touch doorknobs that might be covered with germs, to drive down a block without turning back to see if they have run over a child. With a focus on the practical, this book integrates behavioral and pharmacological approaches to OCD and related disorders, such as hypochondriasis, eating disorders, and compulsive self-harm. It covers behavioral, cognitive, biological, and pharmacological treatments.

This review is from: Biobehavioral Treatment of Obsessive-Compulsive Spectrum Disorders (Hardcover)

I am a mental health professional who treats people with OCD. I had high hopes for this book since I know Fugen Neziroglu to be a fine therapist and someone who works with a lot of OCD. I was disappointed however. The book lacks a coherent logic and jumps from topic to topic in a disorganized way. The therapist looking for help dealing with OCD will not find it here.
