I'm a little uncertain about this book (Rating: 4 out of 5) Uncertainty is absolutely the hallmark of OCD. But, by behaving in a non-ritualistic way, I've been able to change the way I think about my doubts. This is a good book, but like many others the content is not consistent with my experience. That's why I bought The Boy Who Finally Stopped Washing.
Dr. Grayson Rocks! (Rating: 5 out of 5) I've read practically all the self-help OCD books out there and this one is the creme de la creme. It is the only one that truly resonates with me and has helped me to change. I continue to use it in therapy. So many therapists have not been trained to treat OCD properly so this is essential reading for therapists (before they do go ahead and get trained properly ;-)
Very Insightful! (Rating: 5 out of 5) Dr. Grayson's book is an excellent explanation and plan on dealing with OCD. He puts his explanations into such insightful terms I would wonder if he somehow knows what I'm thinking!
A wonderful book and program for someone who is suffering from OCD. (Rating: 5 out of 5) A very close friend of mine is an OCD sufferer and she was actually treated by one of the professionals at Dr. Grayson's practice. Working with her therapist, along with the proper medication monitored by a psychiatrist, were a tremendous help to her. She is now more able to cope with her symptoms. I've read up on OCD, and have found this book to be an excellent resource for sufferers and loved ones of sufferers. Also check out "Tormenting Thoughts and Secret Rituals" by Ian Osborn.
A Blessing! (Rating: 5 out of 5)
This wonderful book has the ability to help anyone suffering from anxiety/OCD. Dr. Grayson does a tremendous job in making the case that OCD can be overcome, and he gives great, practical ideas on how to get your life back and be happy. I hope you choose this book because I believe it is so helpful - you won't regret it.
