From Thoughts to Obsessions: Obsessive Compulsive Disorder in Children and Adolescents
Per Hove Thomsen

From Thoughts to Obsessions

The author brings to life the condition of OCD in an easy to read and understand way. This complex and often mis-understood and mis-diagnosed condition can dramatically affect the lives of those who suffer from it.

The author uses case studies and examples to explain how certain and sometimes simple thoughts can turn into obsessive behaviours and how this can take control of a persons whole life.

Looking at assessment, diagnosis and treatment strategies this book is a wonderful start to our understanding of those with OCD and how we can learn to help and support them.

For parents and professionals this book gives clear and simple explanations and ideas for treatment options.
