        Understanding and managing obsessive-compulsive disorders

        by Susanne Fricke, Iver Hand

        This compact guidebook is encouraging because it shows how to get rid of the stubborn »lodger« compulsion, which can easily turn into a house tyrant. Proven behavioural therapy methods are presented in an easy-to-understand and comprehensible way. Those affected learn to unmask the tricks of ›their‹ compulsion, find out how they unintentionally feed the compulsion themselves, but also which exercises they can use to get to overcome them.

The changing understanding of mental illnesses and how to deal with them, as well as how to deal with those affected by them, becomes comprehensible.
