Books on OCD

hey guys :wave:

I was thinking about reading a book on OCD, but I'm not sure as I think it might be a waste of money. I have bad OCD so I was hoping a book could help me to maybe try and overcome it.

I've been thinking about getting this book by David Veale:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Overcoming-Obsessive-Compulsive-Disorder-David/dp/1849010722/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1382647673&sr=8-1&keywords=david+veale+OCd#_

Does anyone have any thoughts about this, or any suggestions?

    I've read several others in the 'overcoming' series and they are pretty good. I've not read the OCD one though.

    :yes: me too. When I saw your thread title, it was my first thought.

    They're based on CBT techniques. They're good groundwork for more intensive intervention, but do take work.
