When a Family Member Has OCD

Mindfulness and Cognitive Behavioral Skills to Help Families Affected by Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

By: Jon Hershfield MFT, Jeff Bell - foreword

Narrated by: Graham Rowat

When someone has obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), it can affect the entire family. This book is an essential guide to help family members cope with their loved one's compulsive behaviors, obsessions, and constant need for reassurance.

If your loved one has OCD, you may be unsure of how to express your concerns in a compassionate, effective way. In When a Family Member Has OCD, you and your family will learn ways to better understand and communicate with each other when OCD becomes a major part of your household. In addition to proven-effective cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness techniques, you'll find comprehensive information on OCD and its symptoms, as well as advice for each affected family member.

OCD affects millions of people worldwide. Though significant advances have been made in medication and therapeutic treatments of the disorder, there are few resources available to help families deal with the impact of a loved one's symptoms. This book provides a helpful guide for your family.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Great content

The content by Jon Hershfield is amazing and irreplaceable in helping people understand the OCD of their family. The narrator was a little overly emphatic, but I would still listen or read it again.

Very helpful for someone without OCD

I didn't understand what OCD was and how it was effecting my family. I get it much better now and how to address issues when they come up.

Excellent Book

This book offers valuable insights into the world of OCD. It has given me a better perspective of what goes on inside the mind of my family member who has OCD and how I can help him overcome it.

Excellent review of how to support someone with OCD

As a therapist who's always trying to better understand how to help clients support their loved ones with OCD, this book was extremely helpful.

Wonderful for families of OCD Sufferers

This book was a great compact reference guide with chapters that break down every aspect of OCD a family member could ever need to know.
