Book
Up and down the worry hill : a children's book about obsessive-compulsive disorder and its treatment / by Aureen Pinto Wagner ; illustrations by Paul A. Jutton.
Over one million children and adolescents in the US suffer from obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), a baffling illness that can be debilitating for the child in school, with friends and family. Help is now available! Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is the gold standard of treatment for OCD, and offers youngsters and their families the path to mastery over OCD. In this book, Dr. Wagner, an expert in the treatment of childhood OCD, uses the metaphor of the Worry Hill to describe OCD and its treatment clearly and simply through the eyes of a child. Children and adults will identify with Casey's struggle with OCD, his sense of hope when he learns about treatment, his relief that neither he nor his parents are to blame, and eventually, his victory over OCD.
