Description
Book SynopsisMany OCD sufferers fail to improve using the standard exposure-response prevention (ERP) treatment. But, as Clinical Psychologist Michael Alcee contends, it's not the patients who are failing the treatment, but rather the treatment that is failing the patients because it ignores the heightened empathy and existential sensitivity that accompanies OCD.
Part treatment-manual and part-manifesto, The Upside of OCD shows sufferers and therapists how to flip the script on OCD: the creative powers that allow OCD sufferers to see the world with such unique depth, feeling, and intensity.
Using vivid case examples, practical exercises, personal anecdotes, and inspiring stories this book integrates the best of what's already out there for OCD treatment with a new relational twist that will take your treatment to a whole new level.
