The book, which provides sage guidance for both parents and youth, is highly informed and well written. Dr. March has succeeded in providing a valuable resource and clinical tool. - Philip C. Kendall, PhD, Laura H. Carnell Professor of Psychology, Temple University, USA As a mother of a son with OCD and President of the Obsessive Compulsive Foundation, I highly recommend this book for parents and their children with mild to moderate OCD. Dr. March provides detailed steps that can empower a young person to battle obsessive/n-/compulsive disorder. The strong personal vignettes will help parents finally begin to understand the obsessions and compulsions that drive their child or teen to perform exhausting rituals. - Joy Kant The book is well written, well researched and simply laid out, and the authors passion for bossing back OCD is evident throughout... It provides a major boost to our understanding of this condition and the importance of early intervention. - Mike Lehane, Nursing Standard Long Description No one wants to get rid of obsessive-compulsive disorder more than someone who has it. Thats why Talking Back to OCD puts kids and teens in charge. Dr. John Marchs eight-step program has already helped thousands of young people show the disorder that it doesnt call the shots--they do. This uniquely designed volume is really two books in one. Each chapter begins with a section that helps young readers zero in on specific problems and develop skills they can use to tune out obsessions and resist compulsions. Dr. March demonstrates how to: *Create a nickname for the illness to remember that OCD isnt you *Make a symptom chart so you can plan when and where to start talking back *Break the disorders rules about the rituals The pages that follow the instructions for kids and teens show their parents how to be supportive without getting in the way, including tips for: *Separating the OCD from your son or daughter *Asking your childs permission to stop helping with rituals *Offering praise without imposing expectations After just a few months practice, your family will get back to spending time on things that matter, instead of following pointless orders from the illness. The next time OCD butts in, youll be prepared to boss back--and show an unwelcome visitor to the door. Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies (ABCT) Self-Help Book of Merit Review Quote "With a detailed program of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, author March gives children and families tools to recognize obsessions and compulsions as mental hiccups that can be stopped with a little courage and creativity."--About.com Book Review"The book is well written, well researched, and simply laid out....Nurses and students will find this book an accessible introduction to the topic. It provides a major boost to our understanding of this condition and the importance of early intervention."--Nursing Standard "Readable....Encouraging....Worksheets, graphs, and quotes are scattered throughout; an appendix covers how to find a therapist, and additional resources are listed. There are other books on OCD for parents...but this is the only title aimed at both the sufferer and the parents; its emphasis on OCD as an illness motivates the child and parents to isolate OCD from the individual. Highly recommended. (starred review)" --Library Journal Details ISBN1593853556 Author With Christine M.
