About this title

Synopsis

Combines the latest in scientific knowledge with case histories and practical self-help suggestions for those who suffer from obsessive-compulsive disorders and for their friends and families

From the Inside Flap

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) affects roughly six million Americans. Its symptoms, ranging from repetitive handwashing to preoccupation with sexual, religious, or aggressive impulses, wreak havoc in people's lives, and often cause severe emotional and economic loss. This sensitive and insightful book, the result of the authors' years of research and experimentation, is a much needed survival manual for OCD sufferers and the families and friends who share their pain. This classic book offers hope and understanding, with answers to the 100 most often asked questions, such as:

• What is OCD?
• Is it contagious? Hereditary? Curable?
• Who is most vulnerable to its attack?
• What are the best treatment methods available today?

Over and Over Again combines the latest in scientific knowledge with supportive case histories and practical suggestions for help, offering new hope to those touched by this insidious and widespread malady.
