About this deal

In this marvellous book the authors provide the key information that teens and families need about OCD and its treatment. Highly recommended not only for patients but also for practitioners looking for material to use in their practices. My number one recommendation for an OCD self-help book.” – Ashley Fulwood, Chief executive of OCD-UK, August 2011. Do you have troublesome habits that get in the way? Do you have worries that bother you much more than you should? THIS BOOK MAY BE FOR YOU. The hardest thing for anyone to control is their own mind. This book points the way, to you and to those close to you, to free yourself from OCD.

This clever book cuts through the clutter of medical jargon providing an easy to follow approach to overcoming obsessive thoughts and behaviors. With advice for parents and exercises for children and teens, the authors reassure the entire family while offering concrete ways to "break free".Part of the Reading Well scheme. 35 books selected by young people and health professionals to provide 13 to 18 year olds with high-quality support, information and advice about common mental health issues and related conditions. By Authors Jo Derisley, Isobel Heyman, Sarah Robinson, Cynthia Turner and Lisa Jo Robinson (Illustrator) There are some commercial online therapy courses that a person can follow for help. Like self-help books these are only helpful if the reader correctly interprets the meaning of the information, but can certainly be useful. Most tend to be ERP based rather than CBT based, but they’re still helpful resources. We cannot list the commercial programmes, but we can recommend the following non-commercial online CBT run by an American charity, Peace of Mind Foundation which was setup by OCD sufferer Liz McIngvale. It is written by four experts in the field who all specialise in OCD and children/young adults. It is written in a very approachable, non-threatening tone without being patronising or over-simplified... I would not hesitate to recommend this book to anyone dealing with a young person with 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.

Break Free from OCD – This remains our favoured self-help book because it focuses on the cognitive aspect of CBT, not just the behavioural/exposure aspect that many books focus on. Some of our users are reluctant to buy products like books because of their actual OCD fears, for example some people feel they cannot receive books through the post. You can however, access many of the books online via Kindle which can be read via a Kindle device, or any smart phone or tablet.Education– The more we understand OCD and how CBT works the better our chances of managing and overcoming it This book offers an extensive and practical guide to overcoming OCD through cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). Other self-help resources include community led online forums and support groups. A good community group can make a real difference in guiding and helping people. However, not all groups are led with a positive recovery focus, and for that reason OCD-UK take great care only to list support groups which are run to approved standards. The book has given me a clearer, better and deeper understanding of how OCD works and more importantly how to challenge it. It's well written, not preachy and even just reading out of interest might provide help to people who didn't know they needed it.
