The only work on OCD that covers treatment options for specific symptoms and the full spectrum of related disorders, this handbook is a must-have for clinicians who are dedicated to improving the lives of patients with these challenging mental conditions. Jonathan S. Abramowitz, Dean McKay, and Steven Taylor examine specific presentations of OCD -- the symptoms -- that are often seen in practice as well as the many disorders that may fall within the OCD spectrum. For each symptom and putative spectrum condition, they discuss empirical support, theories of etiology, and treatment issues. More Reviews and Recommendations
