and there are often extensive waiting lists for Children and Young
People's Mental Health Services, which are increasingly
overstretched. Unfortunately, a large proportion of children with
mental health disorders do not access evidence-based treatment.

interventions within a child and adolescent context. It includes

A fear of contamination drives the most common manifestation of
obsessive compulsive disorders(OCD), compulsive washing. OCD is a
distressing anxiety disorder that affects 1-2 percent of the
population and can be disabling. Intense and complex forms of the
disorder benefit from advanced analyses of contamination and its
treatment. This book, part of a series on modern psychological
treatments published by OUP, provides a detailed account of the
nature and causes of the various forms of a fear of contamination
and their consequences. Methods of treatment are described and
fully illustrated by case histories. The inclusion of original
analyses and explanations of a newly recognised form of the fear,
mental contamination, is an important feature of the book and will
enable therapists to expand their ability to assess and treat the
abnormal fears of contamination. Written by clinicians with
extensive experience, this volume is valuable for all clinical
psychologists and psychotherapists with an interest in OCD
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) has established itself as one
of the most effective therapies for treating a wide range of
psychological disorders. However, research and treatment in this
field typically adopts a DSM driven 'disorder-focused' approach -
researchers and clinicians target a specific disorder, try to
understand its aetiology and maintenance, and try to develop more
effective strategies to treat the disorder. This book proposes an
insightful and original approach to understanding these disorders,
one that focuses on what they have in common. Instead of examining
in isolation, for example, obsessive compulsive disorders,
insomnia, schizophrenia, it asks - what do patients with these
disorders have in common? It takes each cognitive and behavioural
process - attention, memory, reasoning, thought, behaviour, and
examines whether it is a transdiagnostic process - i.e., serves to
maintain a broad range of psychological disorders. Having shown how
these disorders share several important processes, it then
describes the practical implications of such an approach to
diagnosis and treatment. Importantly it explores why the different
psychological disorders can present so differently, despite being
maintained by the same cognitive and behavioural processes. It also
provides an account of the high rates of comorbidity observed among
the different disorders. This book provides a novel review and
integration of the empirical literature and gives clinicians and
researchers a valuable new theoretical base for assessing and
treating psychological disorders.
How to break the circle of 'never good enough' Striving for
something can be a healthy and positive attribute; it's good to aim
high. But sometimes whatever we do just isn't good enough; we want
to be too perfect and start setting unrealistic goals. Such high
levels of perfectionism, often driven by low self-esteem, can turn
against success and develop into unhealthy obsession, triggering
serious mental-health problems, such as anxiety, depression and
eating disorders. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), on which
this self-help book is based, has been found to be a highly
effective treatment and provides relief from that disabling sense
of not being good enough. In this essential self-help guide, you
will learn: - How clinical perfectionism manifests itself -
Effective coping strategies with invaluable guidance on how to
avoid future relapse OVERCOMING self-help guides use
clinically-proven techniques to treat long-standing and disabling
conditions, both psychological and physical. Many guides in the
Overcoming series are recommended under the Reading Well Books on
Prescription scheme. Series Editor: Professor Peter Cooper
Parenting and caring for a child who is struggling to cope can be
painful and stressful, and can make it very hard to enjoy life
yourself. Feelings of blame, guilt, sorrow, despair, fear and
frustration may be swirling around alongside a desperate desire to
cure their pain. Although parenting a child who is experiencing
difficulties is a common problem, we can feel desperately alone
when it is happening to us. When someone we love is struggling -
for whatever reason - we may become unhappy too. For countless
parents and children there are problems with no easy solutions.
However, that's where this book comes in. It aims to help
understand for ourselves what we can and cannot do; to help us to
accept any distress, worry, anxiety, sadness or loss of control in
our situations; to see that we can tolerate these things; and to
know that there are ways to move forward. This book is packed with
stories from real parents, combined with information from
psychological research. It will show you how you can manage to
obtain comfort from knowing you are not alone, get help from
resources and techniques that really work, and find hope that
things can and do change for the better.
