I had fairly severe OCD as a kid. I wish this much-needed workbook was around back then. Dr. Reuter provides evidence-based, practical, kid- and parent-friendly advice, as well as activities and real-world examples that will make your child's (or patient's) anxiety and OCD easier to manage in the short-term and into adolescence and adulthood. --Dr. Jeff R. Temple, director of behavioral health and research, Department of Ob/Gyn, UT Medical Branch Standing Up to OCD for Kids is a great resource for children struggling with OCD, as well as their parents. It provides clear examples and a path to success for conquering OCD in youth. I recommend it to all of my young clients with OCD to support the work that we do in the office. It can also be used as a standalone guide for families who do not have access to well-trained clinicians. This workbook is a gem! --Suzanne Mouton-Odum, PhD, director of Psychology Houston, PC: The Center for Cognitive Behavioral Treatment This workbook provides an easy-to-understand background on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for OCD, making a rich evidence base accessible to readers.
