by PaulMunford (Author)
This is the first book to adapt clinically-effective cognitive behavioral techniques specifically to the treatment of checking, the most common form of obsessive-compulsive disorder. 6 million people in the United States have OCD; the fourth-most common mental disorder. OCD is more prevalent than more visible disorders such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and panic disorder. This is the first self-help book specifically written to people with compulsive checking. Research indicates that CBT alone is as effective for treating OCD as combination treatment using medication and CBT.

I would like to full heartedly endorse Munford's book. This book is written by one of the experts in the field of behavioral treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Munford brilliantly uses more than thirty years of experience in the treatment of this disorder. The book is written in simple language and gives excellent practical examples that can help patients and their therapists achieve success in fighting this terrible illness. This book can be used as a treatment manual or self-help tool. I consider it to be a great contribution to the field.
