Synopsis

People with OCD may be unable to leave their homes, to touch doorknobs that might be covered with germs, to drive down a block without turning back to see if they have run over a child. With a focus on the practical, this book integrates behavioral and pharmacological approaches to OCD and related disorders, such as hypochondriasis, eating disorders, and compulsive self-harm. It covers behavioral, cognitive, biological, and pharmacological treatments.
