Obsessive disorders often begin in childhood and adolescence but are frequently not recognized and treated until decades later. Those affected often endure a long path of suffering with multiple attempts at therapy. However, there are very effective methods that Burkhard Ciupka-Schön successfully applies in his psychotherapeutic practice. In particular, cognitive-behavioral therapy with exposure therapy proves to be extremely effective. The book provides essential information about obsessive disorders but primarily aims to motivate readers to engage with their obsessions in a constructive manner. Personal accounts from individuals who have overcome their obsessions complement this concise guide and encourage readers to take action themselves.
