“A clinician’s guide that does just that—no matter where you are in terms of experience of working with people with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), you will find helpful ideas and pointers to guide your understanding and practice. If you’re new to working with OCD, this book has all you need to get started...and if you’re an experienced clinician there’s a wealth of new ideas to refine your expertise. Van Niekerk draws together the most salient aspects of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in its various forms to provide a concise overview of good practice in the treatment of OCD. I like the combination of theory, clinical examples, and practical advice. A great addition to the therapist’s shelf!”
