Dr. Baer co-founded the OCD treatment and research programs at both the Massachusetts General Hospital and at McLean Hospital. He continues to practice, train future leaders in psychology and psychiatry and to conduct research full-time.

I had a problem with putting this book on hold with my library. I do not have any over due fees. I prefer to handle this in person then on the phone. I hope to get it work out soon.
