   I bought this book along with “Up and Down the Worry Hill” and it was very useful, especially as I knew very little about OCD. I would recommend it, especially the part about OCD and School.

   As a parent of a child with OCD, it is possible to become ‘compulsive’ about trying to educate yourself about the illness to help your child. This book is a comprehensive guide that helps to ask and answer your questions. There are many books out there on the subject but this book is the BEST one.

   This book is very easy to read. It is very comprehensive. It is very informative. It is objective. It is my constant companion lately. My son’s therapist admitted that I know much more about OCD than she does and is now reading the book.

   This book is a must-have for parents AND clinicians alike. Dr. Wagner uses straightforward language to demystify both OCD in children and the ways cognitive-behavioral therapy works in treating this agonizing illness. She first helps to distinguish between rituals or obsessions that are developmentally normal vs. those that are disordered. Then she provides detailed, knowledgeable information on how to seek help, the types of therapies and medications that work, and what parents can do to assist their child in the recovery process. Most importantly, she gives an amazingly clear explanation of how the exposure and ritual prevention exercises of CBT work to dispel the rituals and reduce anxiety. And she provides compelling, and heartbreaking examples of the treatment in actual clients she has worked with. This book is clearly written by an expert clinician who exudes compassion, empathy and full understanding of the impact of OCD on the afflicted and their families. As a practicing psychologist, I routinely recommend this book (and the companion one for children, “Up and Down the Worry Hill”) to all my clients — including adult clients — who are suffering from OCD and anxiety.

   Dr. Wagner has produced a guide for parents, living with OCD in their family, that is both easy to read and straight forward. Her style, found in all her publications, is written for the lay person as well as professionals. Dr. Wagner walks the reader through the various stages of diagnosis, treatment and follow up, in a way that demonstrates that Obessive-Compulsive Disorder is treatable. The focus of treating children with cognitive behavioral therapy provides the child and their family with the tools to empower themselves with strategies which will help them overcome OCD: deal with it on a daily basis, and in the future, if OCD once again interferes with their daily living, they will have gained the knowledge to recover more effeciently. I highly recommend any of Dr. Aureen Wagner’s books to anyone interested in treatment of anxiety disorders, including Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.
