The new edition of a volume that has, for many years, supported readers in recognising and assessing the specific features of their obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD), understanding its causes and maintenance mechanisms, and ultimately adopting the tools needed to manage it effectively. A self-help pathway that presents current therapeutic options for OCD and restores hope to those who have lost it—or are at risk of losing it—that recovery is possible.
