Rating: Summary: Invaluable resource Review: As a clinical psychologist who treats patients with OCD, I frequently use the OCD Workbook. This is a very practical and helpful resource for anyone suffering from OCD. The authors offer specific techniques based upon sound research. This is a great tool, and I highly recommend it.
Rating: Summary: Very valuable self help resource Review: I am one of the people who wrote a review that is quoted on the back of the book. You can't see that till you buy it so I thought I would write something here as well. What Hyman and Pedrick have done is write a very valuable self help resource book. It can be used working with a therapist or by yourself. I frequently recomend it to people I work with and on the Internet who ask me about OCD.
Rating: Summary: Sensible, helpful, and encouraging... Review: I've purchased two copies of this book for family members with OCD, and it has helped immensely. It gave me a much clearer understanding of the mind of the OCD sufferer, and helped my loved ones actively participate in their recovery. Highly recommended.
Rating: Summary: Best OCD book out there Review: Thanks heavens for Dr. Bruce Hyman and Cherry Pedrick! This is by far the best and most comprehensive book on OCD currently available. This book is clearly written in easy-to-understand language. Not only does it provide an excellently organized self-help program, it also gives vital information for the family members of the person struggling with OCD, something that other books only touch on, at best.For anyone dealing with OCD, whether you have it yourself, or are trying to be understanding and supportive of someone you know, this is a must read!

Rating: Summary: Great Book! Review: This is a real great book for anybody that has Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. It takes you step by step through a process to help cure you from this disorder that EVERYBODY has. It also explains what's going on inside of the brain. If you read this book and find that you liked it and live in South Florida, you may want to book an appointment with Dr. Bruce Hyman, the author. I personally have seen him for about a year and now see someone else in his office. Anyways, read this book, you'll really love it. This book will help very bad cases of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and also cases that are not really that bad at all like washing your hands more than necessary. Remember, everybody has some case of OCD so you may just want to read the book and see if yours is so bad that you may need to seek professional help. Once again READ THIS BOOK!!!! P.S. - The OCD resource is located in Hollywood Florida.
Rating: Summary: Very helpful Review: This is the best book on OCD I have read - not as a health professional but as a sufferer. It is clear and practical and the information is presented in a tight and clear way. I would thoroughly recommend this book.
