Summary

This is a straightforward, introductory book about obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) in children and adolescents. OCD has been little discussed in relation to this age group, although it is now believed that approximately one per cent of all children and adolescents suffer from serious obsessive disorders, often linked to conditions such as autism and attention deficit disorder.

Written for parents and relatives as well as professionals working with this group of patients, From Thoughts to Obsessions defines OCD and explains the difference between transient obsessive symptoms and the much more serious symptoms which lead to diagnosis of OCD. Per Hove Thomsen looks at other symptoms and conditions, the connection between causes, and treatment strategies. Development end the relationship to other psychiatric conditions is also examine, and the book contains many case studies drawn from the author's professional experience.
