Just a few thoughts and impressions.
- In the beginning of the book it repeatedly Rams down your throat that these people are professionals and completely right. It's annoying and condescending which is a bad first impression.
- The work pages do somewhat help with understanding your OCD
-The high majority of the book is about successful test cases, which seem a bit too extraordinary. I mean, did these people really cure themselves of OCD in one week? All of them?
- The form of help will take show more hours and hours everyday. Even if you have that much time it would be exhausting! And even if you did it, you would need to keep doing it for every new obsession you suffered. This book assumes you are obsessed with one thing and will only ever be obsessed with one thing. That isn't how my OCD works...
- The only thing I liked from this book was the idea to write down the current thing you are obsessed with every time you think it so you can see how baseless and redundant it is.
- I only dropped the book at the end where you make your own program. Even then, I did get through some of that but I couldn't finish.

Vi bruger som sagt CPSS og jeg kan få adressen hos Ingrid, hvis I vil skrive til Edna Foa. De er s m sagt udvalgt af Yasmine Baroud, som har skrevet speciale om: Testing for PTSD in refugee Children. HUn har screenet mange for en række kriterier, fex. alder-relevans ptsd kriterie, tværkulturel anvendelse, praktiske aspekter som at børnene selv kunne udfylde, det ikke tog lang tid, og at testen var gratis - og fandt de to ovennævnte som de mest alvendelige.
