Obssessive-Compulsive Disorder
Description
Freedom. Those who struggle with the life-dominating anxiety and controlling behaviors associated with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) need hope, help and freedom. In Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: Help for the Struggler, Dr. Michael R. Emlet explains that all who suffer from OCD can grow in hope and freedom as they come to Christ. Exploring OCD's physical and spiritual dimensions, Emlet discusses possible causes and suggests a compassionate biblical approach to treatment. Emlet presents more than behavior management techniques to help strugglers. He offers the powerful hope of the gospel that transforms lives.
