Over one million children and adolescents in the US suffer from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), a baffling illness that can be debilitating for the child in school, with friends and family. Help is now available! Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is the gold standard of treatment for OCD, and offers youngsters and their families the path to mastery over OCD. In this uniquely creative and heart-warming book, Dr. Wagner, an internationally recognized expert in the treatment of childhood OCD, uses the powerful real-life metaphor of the Worry Hill to describe OCD and its treatment clearly and simply through the eyes of a child. Children and adults will identify with Casey's struggle with OCD, his sense of hope when he learns about treatment, his relief that neither he nor his parents are to blame, and eventually, his victory over OCD.Parents and Professionals can use this book alone or together with the companion book, "What to do when your Child has Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder." This is the only children's OCD book that has a companion book for parents.

Format:Paperback
"Up and Down the Worry Hill" is a childrenï¿s book about Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). In the book we see the world through the eyes of Casey, a child with OCD. It effectively illustrates the internal dialogue and struggles of Casey and the difficulties such children face. For a child with OCD it teaches them that they are not alone and someone understands them. The end of the story helps the child to understand what will happen if they seek treatment via a child therapist and the use of behavior therapy. The book effectively illustrates that the problem is not something wrong with the child, but is something that just happens sometimes to some people. It is a highly recommended text for anyone with a child with OCD or to help children with a friend with OCD to understand their self better.

This book has been written for children, by a Child Psychologist who specializes in anxiety disorders. It uses images and metaphors and makes Obsessive-Compulsive-Disorders really clear and easily understandable for everybody. Not only children!
I grew up under the obsessive care of a mother suffering O.C.D. Nobody in the family, including her, knew what was the matter with her. When she finally was diagnosed with O.C.D. we were no longer children anymore, but this book still helped us understand her struggle and help her with her treatment.
This book is full of hope, optimism and love. It truly changed our lives for the better!
Ecrit pour les enfants par une psychologue américaine spécialiste des troubles de l'anxiété, ce livre explique de façon imagée dans un style simple et accessible ce que sont les Troubles Obsessionnels Compulsifs et quels en sont les traitements.
Et s'il est accessible aux enfants, il est parfaitement clair et explicite pour les adultes aussi ! J'ai grandi entourée des soins obsessifs d'une mère atteinte de T.O.C. Personne dans la famille y compris elle-même ne savait de quoi ma mère souffrait. Lorsqu'elle fut enfin diagnostiquée, ce livre nous a aidés, alors que nous n'étions plus des enfants depuis longtemps, à comprendre son combat et à l'accompagner dans son traitement.
Ce livre est plein d'espoir, d'optimisme et d'amour. Il a changé notre vie pour le meilleur !
