About this ebook

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is characterised by a person's obsessive, distressing, intrusive thoughts and their related compulsions. It affects an estimated one percent of teenagers and has been detected in children as young as three years old.

This approach has been developed from extensive research and clinical work with young people with OCD and associated problems. The book includes:

  • an overview of OCD
  • an introduction to CBT and its relevance to OCD in young people
  • assessment and treatment methods

  • worksheets for use with the client.
