Description
Brain Lock, Twentieth Anniversary Edition Free Yourself from Obsessive-Compulsive Behavior For millions of Americans, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) can feel like a constant companion, controlling every aspect of their lives. Traditional treatment with medication has limitations, with only 70% of those treated responding to it, and symptoms often returning when the medication stops. In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Jeffrey M. Schwartz presents a simple, four-step method for overcoming OCD that has been proven to alter the brain's chemistry through brain-imaging tests. This revolutionary approach uses cognitive self-therapy and behavior modification to help patients develop new patterns of response to their obsessions, effectively 'fixing' the brain with the mind. The book draws on real-life stories of patients who have successfully used this method to regain control of their lives and break free from the grip of OCD.
