This workbook incorporates the best and most effective Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) techniques and tips for the treatment of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) especially in children and young adults. Research indicates that CBT with Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) works best in treating OCD. This workbook describes a CBT programme for children and young adolescents (of ages 7 to 18) who have OCD. It is best suited for those who have been diagnosed with OCD, and are intending to commence treatment with a CBT Therapist. While OCD can be a daunting and debilitating condition, help is available and a life without OCD is possible. This book was designed to be a one-stop book for families, patients and therapists battling OCD monsters.
