Choice Review
A highly qualified group of editors combined to produce a state-of-the-art text on obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). They assembled an international representation of expert contributors but managed to create a volume that reads as if it were written by one person. The topic extends to OCD spectrum disorders, including Tourette's and other tic disorders, impulse control disorders, somatoform and eating disorders, and trichotillomania (pathological hair pulling). The 18 chapters consider genetic, biological, learning, cognitive, and family variables in OCD. The first section deals with theory and research; the next section, assessment and treatment. An appendix of resources lists organizations, professional texts, self-help books, treatment manuals, and Internet resources. Case histories, chapter references, and tables complete a scholarly presentation of an important topic. A valuable and complete text on the subject, this is a worthy acquisition for both undergraduate and graduate level psychology collections. L. Gillikin; College of William and Mary
