Among the most prevalent and personally devastating psychological
disorders the development of a cognitive approach to obsessive
compulsive disorder (OCD) has transformed our understanding and
treatment of it. In this highly practical and accessible book,
Jonathan Abramowitz presents a model of OCD grounded in the most
up-to-date research that incorporates both cognitive and behavioral
processes. He then offers a step-by-step guide to psychological
treatment that integrates psychoeducation, cognitive techniques,
and behavioral therapy (exposure and response prevention). Unlike
other manuals for the treatment of OCD, this book teaches the
reader how to tailor the choice of techniques and delivery modes
for individuals presenting with a wide range of specific OCD
symptoms, such as contamination fears and cleaning rituals, fears
of harm and compulsive checking, symmetry and ordering, and severe
obsessions with mental rituals. The techniques are illustrated with
numerous case examples; clinical forms and handouts are provided
for use with patients. A final chapter suggests strategies for
overcoming common obstacles in treatment.
