Summary: Herb Gravitz has done it again!
Review: As the faciliator of many support groups and an advocate for those with OCD, I often find suffers asking me "what can I provide my family to read to better understand my illness " or "how can I tell my loved ones about my OCD". I never had an answer for them prior to OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE DISORDER: New Guide For The Family. Now I refer this book to all those that contact me with these issues.

Dr Gravitz provides a very comforting way of coping with OCD as an illness and describes the whole family unit in the healing process. It is an easy book to read and provides many practical methods to cope with OCD, or any chronic illness for that matter. It is helpful for the sufferer and also for those who care for the afflicted.

Dr. Gravitz' positive attitude is refreshing. He does not "pound" his beliefs, but acts as a caring professional that guides you through the journey of becoming better able to live with OCD.

I cannot say how highly I recommend this book to anyone who has OCD, has a loved one with OCD or who deals with any chronic illness on a day to day basis. Professionals and clinicians can learn much from its contents as well. It truly is a MUST READ. PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE. GET YOUR COPY TODAY.

Summary: Herb Gravitz has done it again!
Review: Following up on his previous successes with nationallly well-regarded books on children of alcoholics and survivors of trauma, my California psychologist colleague has written a meaningful and from the heart book on a pervasive disorder and its impact on family and dear ones. He writes very well and knowledgeably. I have recommended it to my patients, and they have found it most helpful.

Summary: A Winning Publication for People with OCD and Family Members
Review: Herb Gravitz' book on OCD, New Help for the Family is a wonderful contribution to the mental health field. His writing and perspective lend compassion, clarity and understanding for all people involved in this anxiety disorder. Diagnosed, 6 months after starting a serious relationship, my Significant Other and I were able to glean new understanding and boundary setting with Dr. Gravitz help. I would like to see more medical professionals encouraging family members to read this book and get the assistance and recovery they need. I would recommend this book highly (and do!) to anyone who loves someone with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
