Media Reviews

Treating OCD in Children and Adolescents skillfully presents the advancements in research and clinical practice that have amassed since the publication of March and Mulle's classic 1998 work on the topic. This wise, reader-friendly book is an accessible tool for graduate student trainees, novice therapists, and OCD specialists alike. It is a theory-driven yet practical guide that exemplifies flexibility within fidelity, as illustrated by its focus on realistic therapist-client exchanges and common clinical challenges. --Daniela Colognori, PsyD, Clinical Director, Tourette Syndrome Clinic, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey; private practice, Short Hills, New Jersey
