Can I Tell You About OCD?
This is one of the best books on OCD that I have ever read, describing the essentials for children and affected adolescents. A must-read also for parents and professionals! (Per Hove Thomsen, Clinical Professor, M.D., Dr.Med.Sci., Psychiatric Hospital for Children and Adolescents, Risskov, Denmark)
Meet Katie – a teenager with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD).
Katie invites readers to learn about OCD from her perspective, helping them to understand what it is, how her obsessions and compulsions affect her daily life, and how people around her can help.
With illustrations throughout, this book is an ideal introduction to OCD for both young people and older readers.
It shows family, friends and teachers how they can support someone with the condition and provides an excellent way to start a conversation about OCD, in the classroom or at home.
The author, Amita Jassi, has worked with young people with OCD for the past six years and is currently a senior Clinical Psychologist at the National Specialist OCD clinic at the Maudsley Hospital.
