Do I love you or don’t I?

A self-help manual for people suffering from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder in relationships, to help them understand the mechanisms involved in the origin and maintenance of obsessions with relationships and with partners.

People suffering from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder in relationships experience doubts about their partner and the relationship in a very intense and pervasive way.  This volume proposes a programme and self-assessment tools with the aim of understanding how this disorder works, what the exactly typology that concerns the reader is and learn easy-to-use techniques and strategies to alleviate anxieties and improve the quality of life and relationships.

The proposed techniques are drawn from cognitive behavioural therapy.  This brief form of psychotherapy is considered to be amongst the most effective for many psychological disorders.  It makes use of a series of experiential and behavioural exercises and techniques to “restructure” negative and dysfunctional thoughts, which represent the primary source of psychological suffering.
