I ordered the product about one and a half months before it came. I would have liked if it came earlier. The product is excellent it is just the service on how it got here was extremely slow. I have had things shipped from further distances and I have them arrive much earlier.

this book is helping me overcome OCD and additional anxiety disorders, it has opened my eyes to know how me as a person came to be who i’ve become, even helped me to know my parents personality and why people react in various situations. This is something all should be educated on becuase all suffer from some form of anxiety.
bottom line

This was listed as the top choice for obsessive-compulsive disorder by the Carlat Report for December 2005 in a review of self-help books in psychiatry (www.thecarlatreport.com).
It is very much a self-help book, directed at patients rather than professionals, but some of the methods recommended seem to assume that a professional is involved and it discusses the use of tablets. Indecisions and mentisme are not covered but hoarding (which is seldom due to OCD)is. As with several additional self-help books it is lacking references or statistics so that we have to take some of the claims for effectiveness on trust. The professional reputations of the authors are so high that I would be inclined to trust them, although in some of the cases described the remedy looks worse than the disease. Their recommendations for dealing with contamination fears, and also their techniques for coping with contrast thoughts, might be reasonably distressing.
An literary quibble is that the techniques mostly seem to be unadorned vanilla behavior therapy, rather than cognitive. The cognitive therapy of Beck (and its avatar, the rational-emotive therapy of Ellis) occupy arguing patients out of their symptoms by convincing them of the logical errors of their thinking, a futile endeavor in OCD. This book recommends the kinds of treatment that many of us have establish useful empirically whatever our theoretical background.
Sigmund Freud (in one of his letters to Binswanger) discusses a case of OCD and recommends what is called in Norman Guterman’s translation “counter-compulsion.” (His classic paper on OCD is usually considered the 1909 “Rat Man” whom he did treat by psychoanalysis. That was published as “Der Familienroman der Neurotiker Bemerkung einen Fall von Zwangneurose” for persons of you who own the Sammlung kleiner Schriften. In the Collier paperback series, edited by Philip Rieff, the “Rat Man” case is in “Three Case Histories” )
Where Foa and Wilson fall fleeting of Freud, and of Judith Rappaport’s “The Boy Who Couldn’t Stop Washing,” is in literary merit. They write clearly and understandably but this is not something that the all-purpose reader would want to read take in to take in.
