Talking Back to OCD: The Program That Helps Kids and Teens Say "No Way" -- and Parents Say "Way to Go"No one wants to get rid of obsessive-compulsive disorder more than someone who has it. That's why Talking Back to OCD puts kids and teens in charge. Dr. John March's eight-step program has already helped thousands of young people show the disorder that it doesn't call the shots--they do. This uniquely designed volume is really two books in one. Each chapter begins with a section that helps kids and teens zero in on specific problems and develop skills they can use to tune out obsessions and resist compulsions. The pages that follow show parents how to be supportive without getting in the way. The next time OCD butts in, your family will be prepared to boss back--and show an unwelcome visitor to the door.

Page 38 - Hoarding is atypical because many hoarders engage in little compulsive activity, but are perhaps better characterized as avoidant. Instead of going to great lengths to collect materials to save, many hoarders simply avoid discarding items they encounter in everyday life (eg, newspapers, string) for fear of not having them available in the future. Over long periods of time, consistent avoidance of discarding can result in overwhelming accumulations, even in the absence of active gathering rituals.

For example, it is logical (if excessive) to check the front door lock many times if one fears a burglary, but illogical to walk up and down the stairs repeatedly to prevent a loved one's death in a motor vehicle accident. Other compulsions include ordering, counting, and hoarding.
