The information provided by the publishers suggests this is a book for teenagers who are suffering from obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), which they could use either alone or with a parent. However, upon reading the book one becomes confused about who it is actually aimed at. There is a section for parents at the end of each chapter, but the style of writing and imagery is very simplistic - possibly too simplistic for teenagers and perhaps more suitable for younger children.

It would also be a very useful tool for parents of young children with OCD and provides worksheets and exercises for children to complete.
