Coping with OCD: Practical Strategies for Living Well with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

I have read many books on the topic, and this is the most concise, complete, and supportive book I've come across. Another GREAT book, but much longer, is Obsessive Compulsive Disorders by Fred Penzel.

I've read about ten books on OCD and many others on anixety in general, I've found this book to be much less intimidating than some because it offers alternatives to Exposure Response Prevention which can be helpful for some, but it can also but too difficult for others depending on what type of OCD they have and how severe it is. This book incorporates some ideas of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in a way that doesn't pick one over the other but pulls out helpful ideas and techniques from both. The fact that it is relatively short doesn't mean that it doesn't have much info, it is just organized well and easy to read.
