Book excerpt: "An unusual and compassionate look at this compulsive disorder.” - Booklist Many OCD sufferers fail to improve using the standard exposure-response prevention (ERP) treatment. But, as clinical psychologist Michael Alcée contends, it’s not the patients who are failing the treatment, but rather the treatment that is failing the patients. Using vivid case examples, practical exercises, personal anecdotes, and inspiring stories, The Upside of OCD shows sufferers and therapists the creative powers that allow OCD sufferers to see the world with such unique depth, feeling, and intensity.
