Synopsis

Obsessive-compulsive disorders are characterized by the urge to repeatedly perform inappropriate acts, or to dwell on intrusive or distressing thoughts. A mild form of the disorder is relatively common, and might involve thorough checking rituals, or overemphasis on cleanliness. A severe form, however, may take over the sufferer's life to the extent that much of their time and energy is given to resisting repugnant thoughts, or repeating tasks such as hand-washing. This book is intended mainly for sufferers of the disorder and their families and friends, though it will also be useful to health-care workers. The authors are clinical psychologists, well-recognized in the field, and they draw on their experience to give a lucid account of the symptoms, causes, and treatment of the disease. They cover psychological and drug therapy, and offer practical advice to those needing support. Numerous case histories highlight the many aspects of the disorder, and demonstrate ways in which sufferers have been helped.
