I thought that this book was very informative and gave me many good facts about OCD. I used it mostly for my reasearch paper and it helped greatly.

Straight forward and easy to understand explanations with examples of OCD. I saw myself in my mind from my early years to now as I read through the pages in this book. I am currently a counter and a checker with minor rituals to go to bed and leave the house.

I like that it has real teens with these issues. Just wish it had alittle more information about these issues..

[Kendra]

I really wasn't impressed. If you are clueless about OCD, this book would provide some basic information, but I honestly think the average reader would be better served by reading something more comprehensive.

[Hillary]

Interesting/amusing because OCD runs in my fam, and I could see a hint of it in my own life.

[Karin]

Summary at top of page says it all. good intro to ocd. seems oriented to teen aged readers. i read the revised version.
