 A Guide to Treating Your OCD January 5, 2010
Oliver (Los Angeles)
2 out of 6 found this review helpful
First, a disclaimer: neither I nor anyone close to me suffers from OCD. If the author made basic mistakes or overlooked certain truths about OCD, I probably would not know it. That being said, the author sure seems knowledgeable to me.
This book is clearly designed to help OCD suffers treat themselves, as opposed to explaining the disorder to those of us who are less familiar with the disorder. Nevertheless, the book is still interesting enough for a general audience, as it does describe in some detail what it is like to suffer from OCD.
The suggested treatment seems well-thought out, even if it is not particularly complicated or particularly easy to follow. In fact, the author makes it clear from the outset that he is not offering a simple treatment, like taking an antibiotic for an infection. Rather, the OCD sufferer must simply get used to whatever it is that bothers him. Now that is a vast oversimplification, and the author has put much more thought into it than just saying, "Deal with it." In the end, however, the OCD suffer must apparently, if gradually, learn to deal with whatever was bothering him.
If I had OCD, however, I would certainly give this book's treatment a try.

As a therapist treating mostly adults with OCD, I have found this book the most comprehensive of all of them. It gets at the fundamental flaw of OCD thinking which is the intolerance of uncertainty. Explains things very thoroughly,and his reasoning can be applied to just about all forms of the disease.

Dr. Grayson takes an interesting approach to the treatment of OCD. Practitioners of meditation will recognize the similarity to that discipline.
Uncertainty Doesn't Capture All of OCD February 9, 2009
Bobby Rebo (Washington, D.C.)
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Yes, doubt and uncertainty are the hallmarks of OCD. Yet, this book indicates that cognitive changes about the hallmarks must come first for OCD treatment outcome to be successful. That is only part of the story. Behavioral change necessarily leads to healthy cognitive change; cognitive change does not necessarily lead to behavior change. Do you want to stop washing your hands or just think that it makes more sense to do so?
