Freeing Your Child From
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
A Powerful, Practical Program for
Parents of Children and Adolescents
If you're a parent of one of the more than one million children
in this country with obsessive-compulsive disorder, you know how confusing, even
frightening, the symptoms of OCD can be. You're terrified of losing your child
and angry about the havoc this disorder has wreaked in your family. More than
anything, you want to be able to unlock the secrets of OCD, understand the cause
of your child's bizarre symptoms, and help your child break free of these
disruptive, relentless thoughts and actions.
In her landmark book, Freeing Your Child from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Dr.
Tamar E. Chansky creates a clear road map to understanding and overcoming OCD
based on her successful practice treating hundreds of children and teenagers
with this disorder. In Part I, Dr. Chansky "cracks the code" of the peculiar
rules and customs of OCD -- the hand washing, tapping, counting, and so forth.
She explains how OCD is diagnosed, how to find the right therapist partner, and
how to tailor treatment options to your child's needs. You'll learn how powerful
behavioral modification can be and when medication can help. In Part II, you'll
learn how not to be pulled in by your child's debilitating rituals at home or at
school, how to talk to your child about the "brain tricks" OCD causes, and how
to create an effective OCD battle plan that will empower your child to "boss
back" the OCD monster. You'll also learn how to cope in moments of crisis.
Part III offers specific advice for how to help your child handle the most
common manifestations of OCD such as fears of contamination, checking, getting
things "just right," intrusive thoughts, and more. Part IV is an indispensable
guide to additional resources, including books, videos, organizations, and
websites.
Filled with Dr. Chansky's compassionate advice and inspiring words from the many
children with OCD whom she has helped, this book will be your lifeline. Battling
back from OCD is hard work, but with the comprehensive, proven guidance in this
book, you can help your child reclaim a life free from its grip.
