   This book is a classic educational tool for priests in confessionals and all RC teachers of religion that only HARM is done by portraying God as waiting like a Vulture to pounce on every Catholic with OCD and tell him/her that a single thought is enough to guarantee Everlasting Damnation to Hell. There is no God like that.

   If you are looking for a book on OCD that goes way above and beoynd to provide real-life stories of those suffering with OCD, this is the book for you.

   For many years I was misdiagnosed and misinformed on the subject of OCD. Although I had many OCD symptoms, doctors attributed my symptoms to depression. This book gave me the information needed to get properly diagnosed and treated for OCD.

   The book was educational and very informative. He must have spent alot of time with his patients. He gives you a reason to live. I have ocd. If it wasn’t for his book, I would think I was crazy. He is a very special person to help others with his book. When I started reading the book I could not put it down. It’s like he is just talking to the reader with concern and Love. It’s the best book I have ever read on ocd! Keep up the Fight!

   I recommend this book to those who are plagued with symptoms of OCD or who have family members with OCD. The book outlines some of the types of obsessions and compulsions, offers a simple diagnostic test, and suggests effective coping strategies, including available prescription medications. The text comforts and reassures the sufferer, that OCD does not make a person “weird”, but that OCD itself is a biological disorder. This book is especially helpful for family members who are looking for a way to support their loved ones and trying to understand the causes of their rituals and anxieties. It offers valuable insight into this distressing disorder.

   An extremely well written book on obsessive-compulsive disorder! I would recommend this book to people suffering from OCD. Excellent strategies for dealing with OCD. Dr. Osborne puts to rest any qualms about behavior therapy and anti-OCD medications. If you are in the grasp of OCD, please do yourself a favor and purchase this book. . . . you don’t need to suffer any more! You are not alone!!!!
