This book opened up new doors for us in treating this disorder. It has been perfect for her, and she actually wants to sit down with me to read it.

I left it on the table and my son picked it up and read it - his initial reaction was "do you think I have OCD", I replied by telling him that I was interested in the subject as I didn't want ... Read More Rating - OK for younger kids - 3.5 stars really The book was OK but not great. It was overly simplistic and not too meaninful for a teenager or parent. It really only skimmed one aspect of OCD, compulsion, and did not address at all the cause of the compulsion, obsessions. May be more meaningful to younger children... see more reviews See all books by author Aureen Pinto Wagner Ph.D
