This book is a great introduction to OCD that explains the process of OCD assessment and treatment in a highly approachable and easily digestible format. Using real case studies, easy-to-follow instructions and examples, and some tough love, this book provides an honest look into the mind of the OCD sufferer and helps them make sense of their own thoughts and behaviors, engage in frank self-evaluation, and learn ERP skills to build strong motivation and tools for recovery.

Combining the latest research with his own extensive clinical experience, Dr. Baer examines the topic of obsessive bad thoughts in an honest, frank, and eye-opening way. Using the metaphor of the “mischievous imp”, he leads the reader through the root causes of bad thoughts, why they become out of control, and how to distinguish between harmless and dangerous bad thoughts. Also provides a clear guideline for treating OCD symptoms using effective, evidence-based skills. The combination of information and strategies helps reduce the shame attached to these unpleasant, frightening thoughts by normalizing the presence of intrusive thoughts and increases the OCD sufferer’s ability to confront and conquer their OCD.
