Managing OCD with CBT For Dummies

"I bought this for a friend ;-)"Great book. It's hard to find a healthcare professional/counselor/psych-major who knows what they're talking about with CBT and this book has been enormously helpful for both, ahem, my friend, and someone in my friend's family.This book will empower you to deal with yourself which is extremely important because you are, afterall, the only one who can truly control or change yourself.

good book but maybe self help alone isn't the best

I more or less hoped and believed that it would help me understand my problem, but by the end i feel as if it has done so much more.

This is supposed to be the "for dummies" treatment program, but I found their "hot cross bun" model of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy needlessly clunk and complex. A-B-C is straightforward and time honored, why mess with it? I ended up not using this book at all. Dissapointing.

It was a Christmas gift apparently she she thought it was pretty good.

I have read lot of books for OCD.. I understand that "perfection is myth"!! But this book is very close to perfection!! Thanks Maam for your pearls of wisdom!!!

Helps to understand and manage ocd

I purchased this book having recently been diagnosed with anxiety and depression. I wanted to understand more about OCD and anxiety so that I could take steps to improve my health. This book has helped me manage my condition so that I can get on with my life. It was easy to read and laid out perfectly. I would definitely recommend this book to fellow suffers.

This book is a Godsend. It is helping me to help my son and giving him clear instructions and tips to conquer his OCD.

Awesome.
