Would this book be appropriate for her in terms of the content? I'm no help with regard to thought field therapy as I know very little about it. What I do know is that all of the literature and the experienced OCD therapists I've spoken to say E/RP is the only therapy that works for OCD. Maybe if the thought field therapy is done in conjunction with E/RP that could work? Someone else here probably knows more about this than I do. Good Luck and let us know how the therapist works out.

Hi Kathy, The book follows the girl's life (through her eyes) from about kindergarten to age 14, when she is finally correctly diagnosed. One friend of the girl (at age 14) confides in her that she had her first sexual experience (no details given), and the girls go to a drugstore to try to buy condoms (funny story)... another friend develops anorexia, and I really liked how the author handled that. That's about the most " mature " content. What do you think? Marlys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 10, 2001 Report Share Posted November 10, 2001 Funny, but I didn't like the Kissing Doorknobs book. I thought it was a downer. My 16 yo son did not read it, and I didn't push it. Judy Re: therapy and a book At 3:21 PM +0000 11/9/2001, mvistad@... wrote: > >Hi all, > >I just read the book " Kissing Doorknobs " last night.

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2001 Report Share Posted November 12, 2001 Marlys: There is another book I would recommend to you and anyone with treatment resistant loved ones. I'm Not Sick! I Don't Need Help! by Xavier Amador. I recently attended a seminar in which he was a featured speaker -- fantastic. I have recommended him as a speaker for next year's OC Foundation conference in Philadelphia. Once I recover from my recent trek to Wisconsin and Chicagoland, I will write up some of the info I learned at the seminar. Jule Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 13, 2001 Report Share Posted November 13, 2001 Jule: That would be great. I hope he does come to the conference in Philly. I believe my husband is at least GAD, but he will barely admit his depression (even though I've got him taking anti-depressants -- I think that is only because I take them). He fits the new commercial on tv to a " T " . I look forward to your post about the seminar.
