"This book is an extremely helpful step by step guide to overcoming OCD.The authors who are very experienced in the treatment of this very debilitating disorder provide a very easy step by step formula on how to understand and treat the symptoms of OCD and some spectrum disorders, i.e. health anxiety, body dysmorphic disorder. It is a very thorough book explaining the need to engage in therapy and how to apply specific strategies for specific symptoms. Some helpful hints are also provided for family members. I strongly recommend the book for those combating OCD."

"While there are many self-help books for OCD sufferers, there are few that are of the same caliber, in terms of completeness and usefulness, as Hyman and Pedrick's OCD Workbook. This is a first-rate resource for those seeking to recover their lives from this torturous disorder."

The third edition of the best-selling OCD Workbook expands on the already comprehensive second edition (hard to do) by adding new insights in areas including mindfulness meditation, responsibility modification techniques, and acceptance and commitment therapy. Here the reader finds the most comprehensive survey of cognitive behavioral treatment for OCD that is accessible to the layman. All is clearly written, easily grasped, and laid out in a very user friendly manner. Every OCDer should read this book!

Bruce Hyman and Cherry Pedrick’s updated and expanded version of their classic, The OCD Workbook, is one of the best self-help books on OCD. It has half again as much content as before, yet is easy to read and use. Many sections have been expanded and new ones added. Readers will find up-to-date information on their own particular OCD concerns and how to conquer them.
