Media Reviews

I really liked many aspects of the OCD Survivor Manual... I think patients will find the mnemonics for capturing key aspects of the treatment very useful. - David A. Clark, University of New Brunswick, Canada

Michael J. Scott has come up with many useful ideas and if I were to undertake a group treatment nowadays, I would definitely adopt some of them. - Jack Rachman, University of British Columbia, Canada

Group sessions sound realistic and the information is comprehensive and would give people the confidence to set up groups. - Jim White, Consultant Clinical Psychologist, Glasgow, Scotland
