IMP of the Mind: Exploring the Silent Epidemic of Obsessive Bad Thoughts - Lee Baer - Hardcover

In a book that will change the way we think about obsessive-compulsive disorders, distinguished OCD expert Lee Baer examines a widespread yet little understood condition. Everyone has bad thoughts--even those of a violent, blasphemous, or sexual nature. For most of us, they are often only mildly disconcerting & do not impair behavior. But consider the mother paralyzed by the fear of accidentally poisoning her infant, or the more than one million women each year who suffer from postpartum depression & experience thoughts of harming their babies. They often suffer in silence rather than expose their unwanted thoughts to a doctor. Now, based on his extensive work with obsessive-compulsive disorders. Dr. Lee Baer turns our attention to the common & underlying problem of unwanted, inappropriate, & obsessive thoughts. At once an insightful exploration of this silent epidemic in our midst & a powerful guide for those suffering from this disorder. Baer draws on groundbreaking research to find what causes these bad thoughts, giving sufferers information on medication or self-help treatment. Most important, in helping all of us understand this condition, he provides a way to find peace of mind.Baer, Lee is the author of 'IMP of the Mind: Exploring the Silent Epidemic of Obsessive Bad Thoughts - Lee Baer - Hardcover' with ISBN 9780525945628 and ISBN 0525945628.
