<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This book has been written and illustrated by two consultant psychiatrists to help children with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and their families. It is accurate, easy to read and each idea in the book is illustrated with a specific cartoon. This is the 4th edition. It has been continually on sale since 1994.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) in children</strong></p><p> </p><p>Approximately one or two percent of children and teenagers will suffer from this disorder. It is a hidden problem and those who have it are reluctant to talk about their symptoms; preferring, instead, to suffer in silence. For a child and for the child's family OCD causes major disturbances, educational problems and a lot of misery. Much of this suffering is due to lack of knowledge and delays in getting help.</p><p> </p><p>In "The Secret Problem", OCD is explained in clear and simple language. Cartoons are used to help children, teenagers and their parents understand the problem and its treatment.</p><p> </p><p>The book identifies OCD as a biological problem and clearly describes how the child and the child's family are not to blame for its onset. Instead it describes how to fight the problem and bring the symptoms under control.</p><p> </p><p>It is clearly established that, with modern treatments now available, the outlook for sufferers and their families is much brighter.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>This is a great introduction to a problem troubling lots of children and teenagers. It hits the nail on the head about what it feels like to have secret problems like compulsive rituals and obsessive thoughts, and how relatives of sufferers have a hard time of it too. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is common and treatable, and this book is a splendid way to begin before going on to do behaviour therapy in detail.</p><p>The good news is that you can overcome OCD largely through your own efforts at practising self-exposure and ritual prevention every day for at least an hour a day. Good luck if you decide to try that and ask your family to read this book too.</p><p>Isaac Marks</p><p>Professor of Psychiatry</p><p>Institute of Psychiatry</p><p>London</p><br>
