OCD - tools to help you fight back! - Cynthia Turner

This workbook is intended to be used in conjunction with the clinical manual for this title, OCD - Tools to Help Young People Fight Back.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) affects approximately one in a hundred young people, and often makes it difficult to lead the life they want to live.

Structured as a flexible 14-session programme, this guide and its accompanying manual set out an evidence-based treatment for young people with OCD using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Exposure and Response Prevention techniques. Designed to be employed in a clinical setting, it uses simple diagrams and illustrations to explain ways to cope with OCD thoughts and behaviours, and provides activities for use both within sessions and at home. The fun and engaging exercises are designed to encourage young people to fully involve themselves in the recovery process and overcome their OCD.

An essential resource for clinicians treating young people affected by OCD, this workbook brings together the patient, the therapist and the patient's family to fight OCD as a team.
