Obsessive-compulsive Disorder by Padmal De Silva

People suffering from obsessional-compulsive neurosis feel compelled to perform almost quasi-ritualistic actions, such as the repetitive washing of hands, to relieve their anxiety. Others are troubled by the intrusion of inappropriate or nonsensical thoughts. Full of practical advice for patients and their families, this straightforward book discusses the occurrence, nature, and causes of these disorders, and outlines the procedures for diagnosis and the variety of treatments available for milder conditions. The book is intended for people suffering from obsessional-compulsive disorders, their families, friends, and colleagues.

Stanley Rachman is Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada and Professor of Pyschology at University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada
