"As a child and adolescent psychiatrist that works with children
diagnosed with OCD and their families, this workbook provides a
much-needed resource for not only children and families living with
OCD, but also for providers. The authors present the material in a
way that is both understandable and engaging for young readers, and
the many examples, activities, and handouts provide ample guidance
for children, parents, and therapists."
--Moira A. Rynn, MD, consulting professor and chair in the
department of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Duke University
Medical Center
"In The OCD Workbook for Kids, Puliafico and Robin have created a
masterpiece in the form of a step-by-step approach for helping
children struggling with OCD (and their parents) in understanding
and addressing this impairing condition. The writing style is fun,
clear, and kid/parent friendly, and the text describes the core
treatment components in an easy-to-understand manner. Given the
difficulty that so many families of a child with OCD experience in
accessing effective care, this book has the promise to help many
children live their fullest, happiest life."
--Eric Storch, PhD, professor and All Children's Hospital Guild
Endowed Chair at the University of South Florida
"Puliafico and Robin have done a great service for children with
OCD and their parents. The activities in the workbook are clear,
structured, and guided by the research on childhood OCD
conceptualization and treatment. As a guide to accompany treatment
with a trained clinician, the exercises here will undoubtedly serve
as a great way to facilitate treatment and provide children with
relief. I recommend it enthusiastically to parents of children with
OCD and providers who regularly treat this condition."
--Dean McKay, PhD, ABPP, professor of psychology at Fordham
University
"We know that you can't just talk about obsessive-compulsive
disorder (OCD)--if you want improvement, you have to do something!
The authors put wisdom, energy, and life in their book, as they
join with youth to build coping skills via activities that are
developmentally appropriate in tone, style, and language. OCD is
treatable, and this workbook is helpful for youth to understand OCD
and for therapists to accompany therapy. The exercises come with
both readable examples and advice for how to 'stay strong' when it
gets tough. Puliafico and Robin are a team of experts bringing
their expertise to life in this readable and helpful book."
--Philip C. Kendall, PhD, ABPP, Distinguished University Professor
and Laura H. Carnell Professor of Psychology at Temple University
