I found these books (Can I tell you about OCD? And Can I tell you about Dementia?) easy to read and informative making them and extremely useful and valuable addition to any school library, and they definitely fill a gap in the market.
This is one of the best books on OCD that I have ever read, describing the essentials for children and affected adolescents. A must-read also for parents and professionals!
This little gem is really accessible yet rigorous. A great source of information for young people with OCD, their families and teachers.
Obsessive compulsive disorder is a common and very impairing condition that impacts millions of children worldwide. The presence of this condition and how to successfully navigate its treatment is often confusing for affected individuals and their families. "Can I tell you about OCD?" fills a gap in the literature by providing an easy-to-read, fun, and informative book about OCD, its treatment, and how loved ones can help. This book is a must-have for families of a youngster with OCD.
This little book fills an important gap in the current literature available for children and teenagers with obsessive compulsive disorder...It will not only be a great relief to young people and their friends and families, who are trying to understand and deal with obsessions, but also to therapists.
With illustrations throughout, this will be an ideal introduction to OCD for both young people and older readers. It shows family, friends and teachers how they can support someone with the condition and will be an excellent way to start a conversation about OCD, in the classroom or at home... Friendly characters invite readers to learn about their experiences of living with a particular condition and how they would like to be helped and supported. These books serve as excellent starting points for family and classroom discussions.
It gives a very good overview for someone just beginning to understand the condition whether they are an adult or a child...for a young person who had previously felt lost and alone with these thoughts and behaviours, this could feel very reassuring and for many it may act as the first stepping stone towards engaging in treatment and working towards recovery.
