Editorial Reviews
Stop worrying about:
·Risk and danger
·Being irresponsible or careless
·Causing accidents and making mistakes
·Unintentionally harming or offending someone
·Being criticized.
Imagine being unable to leave the house without first checking the stove, the faucets, the lock on the door ten, fifteen, twenty times. Even performing the simplest daily routines can be a source of considerable fear and anxiety for someone suffering from one of the most often seen forms of obsessive-complusive disorder, checking.people with compulsive checking engage in these kinds of behaviors to avoid some perceived danger, the looming consequence they fear if they don't check and recheck and check again the objects of their obsession. Even though compulsive checking can be devastating, research suggests that behavior therapy can enable 75 percent of checkers to significantly reduce or eliminate their symptoms.
While many books offer strategies for treating the whole spectrum of obsessive-compulsive symptoms, this is the first book to apply the proven-effective techniques of cognitive behavioral therapy specifically to overcome checking. Its engaging exercises teach you how to face, embrace, and erase your fears. And when the fears are eliminated there is no further need for compulsions. Chapters further help you to troubleshoot particularly difficult situations and educate family members and loved ones.
From the Publisher
This is the first book to adapt clinically-effective cognitive behavioral techniques specifically to the treatment of checking, the most common form of obsessive-compulsive disorder. 6 million people in the United States have OCD; the fourth-most common mental disorder. OCD is more prevalent than more visible disorders such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and panic disorder. This is the first self-help book specifically written to people with compulsive checking. Research indicates that CBT alone is as effective for treating OCD as combination treatment using medication and CBT.
