areas such as understanding anxiety, managing anxious thoughts, and
building resilience and use readily available, inexpensive

and purposeful ways to work with children with anxiety.
Treating subtypes of OCD, such as scrupulosity, harm, existential,
and relationship OCD, in children and adolescents can often present
a wealth of challenges. The nature of these lesser-known subtypes
can make delivering common aspects of OCD treatment, including
planning relevant exposures, and incorporating key adults in the
child's treatment, difficult. Drawing from years of professional
experience, Karen Lynn Cassiday provides comprehensive guidance
using a wealth of case examples on how you can overcome these
hurdles in the therapy room. Whether a newly qualified or
experienced clinician, this book is essential for all practitioners
wanting to tackle the clinical dilemmas generated when treating
complex OCD in children, teens, and emerging adults. Bonus content!
This book also gives access to a free video series containing
demonstrations of exposure practice for each OCD subtype.
This two-in-one handbook will help you to understand your child's
anxiety and how to ease it, while also showing you how to reconcile
your own fears and worries that come with raising an anxious child.
Tips and strategies from evidence-based therapies, such as CBT, ACT
and exposure therapy, are paired in this guide with humorous,
thoughtful and honest anecdotes of the author's own life and
parenting experiences. Challenging modern cultural pressures to be
a 'perfect parent' and warning against the trap of
over-accommodation, Dr Cassiday gives advice on how to embrace
imperfection and uncertainty and to build resilience, compassion
and gratitude so that anxiety can take the back seat in your
family. With a focus on acceptance and growth rather than 'curing',
this book will help you and your child to thrive and find joy even
during the worst bouts of anxiety.
