Obsessive-compulsive disorder can be a very disabling and
distressing problem. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) has been
shown to be very effective in helping people to overcome OCD.
However, OCD is a highly heterogeneous disorder, often complicated
by contextual factors, and therapists are often left wondering how
to apply their knowledge of treatment to the particular problems as
they face them in clinical practice. This book provides the reader
with an understanding of the background to and principles of using
CBT for OCD in a clear practical 'how to' style. It also elucidates
the particular challenges and solutions in applying CBT for OCD
using illustrative case material and guidance on formulation-driven
intervention. The book also addresses commonly occurring
complexities in the treatment of OCD, for example working with
comorbidity, perfectionism, shame and family involvement in
symptoms. Throughout the book, the authors provide tips on
receiving and giving supervision to trouble-shoot commonly
encountered problems, resulting in a guide that can help clinicians
at all levels of experience.
Are you plagued by obsessive thoughts, rituals or routines? Would
you like to regain control over your behaviour and cast your fears
aside? Whether you are compelled to wash your hands more and more
thoroughly or feel the need to keep checking that you've turned off
appliances, obsessive worries can be a drain on daily life.
However, you don't need to suffer any more. This practical guide,
written by three leading cognitive behavioural therapy experts,
enables you to make sense of your symptoms, and gives a simple plan
to help you conquer OCD. Includes: detailed information on the many
different manifestations of OCD; the differences between normal and
obsessive worries; clear information on treating your individual
problem; real-life case studies and examples; and advice and
support for friends and family of OCD sufferers. Whether your
condition is mild or severe, this definitive resource will help you
reclaim your life and keep OCD away for good.
