“I have read many OCD books over the years and I can honestly say that there have been very few good ones out there but when I was presented with this book called “Overcoming Obsessive Compulsive Disorder” I thought to myself it’s just another one of these zillion self-help books but I was wrong.  I formed a personal connection with the true life stories in this book. All I can say, finally I have found a book I can relate to and now I can frankly say ‘SPOT ON!’ this book is a great approach to self-help using Cognitive Behavioural Techniques.  The book is well presented, in-depth and is broken down into chapters and sections, any book written in Layman’s terms is a win-win for me. “
