As a clinical social worker seeking to polish up OCD skills, I found this book to be an excellent resource! It is written for a parent on what to expect through the assessment and treatment process but also is detailed enough to be informative yet not overwhelming. It reminds clinicians of the compassion needed for treating ocd and the importance of family involvement.
