This is a "must have" for every parent of a child with OCD,
By Judith S. Dietz (Ithaca, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: What to do when your Child has Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: Strategies and Solutions (Paperback)
This is the book I wish I had during the months we waited for our appointment with the specialist. Dr. Wagner leaves no stone unturned. In plain language she speaks to the many and complex concerns parents of children with OCD have -- always with this goal: to help minimize the impact of OCD on the child and family. The personal stories woven throughout the book help put a "face" on OCD that every family living with it will understand. I particularly appreciated Dr. Wagner's respectful and empathetic treatment of parents, also victims of this disorder, in the chapters "Parenting Challenges" and "Taking Care of Yourself." This is an empowering book; one that continues to offer hope and help to parents beginning with that first suspicion that something's "not quite right." I continue to use it as a valuable resource.

Understandable, practical guidance.,

This review is from: What to do when your Child has Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: Strategies and Solutions (Paperback)
"What to Do When Your Child has Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder" is an exhaustive, authoritative and yet highly readable examination of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) in children. It is organized into two parts with the first part a thorough education in OCD. It examines what OCD is and what it is not, how it is diagnosed, causes of OCD, and various treatments. The second part provides just as thorough an education in how OCD affects your child's thoughts and behaviors. It examines the cycle of avoidance and how that cycle fuels OCD. Parenting challenges related to OCD are also discussed in detail. The text also includes an exhaustive examination of behavior therapy and how it is used to help the OCD child acquire the skills to overcome their disorder. This is easily one of the most approachable and thorough books I have ever read on OCD. Don't forget the companion book "Up and Down the Worry Hill" that is specifically written for children with OCD to help them understand the disorder and what will happen in behavior therapy. "What to Do When Your Child has Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder" is a highly recommended read for anyone wanting to understand OCD better.

Excellent Resource for Parents and Professionals,
By Wendy Birkhan; BSW; RSW; (Ottawa, Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: What to do when your Child has Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: Strategies and Solutions (Paperback)
Dr. Wagner has produced a guide for parents, living with OCD in their family, that is both easy to read and straight forward. Her style, found in all her publications, is written for the lay person as well as professionals. Dr. Wagner walks the reader through the various stages of diagnosis, treatment and follow up, in a way that demonstrates that Obessive-Compulsive Disorder is treatable. The focus of treating children with cognitive behavioral therapy provides the child and their family with the tools to empower themselves with strategies which will help them overcome OCD: deal with it on a daily basis, and in the future, if OCD once again interferes with their daily living, they will have gained the knowledge to recover more effeciently. I highly recommend any of Dr. Aureen Wagner's books to anyone interested in treatment of anxiety disorders, including Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.
