Up and Down the Worry Hill: A Children's Book about Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and its Treatment

by Aureen Pinto Wagner from Lighthouse Press, Inc.

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. In this uniquely creative and heart-warming book, Dr. Wagner uses the powerful metaphor of the Worry Hill to describe OCD and its treatment clearly through the eyes of a child. Children and adults will identify with Casey's struggle with OCD, his relief that neither he nor his parents are to blame, his sense of hope about recovery, and eventually, his victory over OCD. This is the only OCD book for children and adolescents that has companion books for parents (What to do when your Child has OCD: Strategies and Solutions) and for therapists (Treatment of OCD in Children and Adolescents: A Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy Manual). The metaphor of the Worry Hill is a common thread that weaves through all three books. These books provide families with tools of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), the gold standard of treatment for OCD.
