About this ebook
Break free from unhelpful rituals and take control of your life
'Clear, practical, focused and useful... extremely helpful both for those who suffer from obsessive compulsive disorder and those who care for them'
Paul Salkovkis, University of Bath
Are you plagued by a recurring thought or idea that just won't go away, or feel the need to wash your hands repeatedly, to hoard things, or to repeatedly check all appliances in the house have been turned off before you leave? These are common symptoms of obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), a condition that causes distress to hundreds of thousands of people.
Using methods based on real clinical practice and proven cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) techniques, this revised and updated edition teaches you:
· How to face fears and avoided situations
· How to control disturbing thoughts, images and urges
· Strategies to break free from the destructive cycle of obsessive behaviour
Overcoming self-help guides use clinically proven techniques to treat long-standing and disabling conditions, both psychological and physical.

Behavioral therapy only works to a point with OCD. Get rid of old obsessions? Here will come new, unfamiliar, terrifying ones you'll spend a thousand years coming up with compulsions against. The leak is plugged, great, oops, new leak. My psychiatrist was intelligent enough not to push the cruel waste of time that this book hawks just because there is no cure for OCD, certainly not "It will go away if you use logic." I have always balanced myself within the compulsions. And it's hard.
