I am a mother whose young child experienced an abrupt onset of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder two years ago. Since that time I have read every book available on the subject of OCD in children. Dr. Chansky’s book stands out among them for its demystifying explanations of the disorder’s symptoms and how they are experienced by the sufferer, and most importantly what to do about them. This book is one I regularly refer to as I help my child along the path toward recovery.

If your child is struggling with OCD, I very much recommend you read “Freeing Your Child from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder”. It has been an invaluable resource for our family, and I am grateful to Dr. Chansky for writing it.
