Reviews
Smart, funny, direct, and clear, the best of Natasha Daniels in book form, motivating and empowering children to get on top of even intractable-seeming OCD. -- Dawn Huebner, PhD, Outsmarting Worry and Dr. Dawn's Mini Books About Mighty Fears
A good OCD workbook for kids is best judged by whether it would still be a good workbook for adults and Crushing OCD Workbook for Kids does not disappoint. Daniels skillfully strips away a lot of the unnecessary abstractions that pad adult workbooks and articulates the core concepts to a young audience that just needs the facts. OCD is a thought filtering problem, as she explains, and this filter can be further jammed or effectively unjammed. The book leads with building up an awareness of the reader's strengths and guides them step-by-step through the most effective unjamming tools. Kids who utilize this resource (with or without the guidance of a therapist or parent) will come away inspired to take command of their OCD. -- Jon Hershfield, LCMFT, Director of the Center for OCD and Anxiety at Sheppard Pratt and author of When a Family Member Has OCD
In her charming, witty, beautifully illustrated and incredibly practical "Crushing OCD Workbook for Kids," experienced clinician Natasha Daniels has distilled powerful evidence-based tools into fun-size nuggets for kids struggling with OCD. This book will empower kids, their parents, and their therapists to learn about and engage in exposure-based practices that will help them kick their OCD to the curb. Make sure you get this book on your bookshelf! -- Lisa W. Coyne, PhD, Founder and Director, New England Center for OCD and Anxiety (NECOA); Founder and Senior Clinical Consultant, McLean OCD Institute for Children and Adolescents (OCDI Jr)
