ashipinharbor Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I wanted to share an article I read. I found it helpful, informative, and soothing. https://blog.oup.com/2015/01/mental-contamination-obsessive-compulsive-disorder Link to comment
snowbear Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 A good article that explains 'mental contamination' well. But then you'd expect her to be good at explaining it as she is one of the world's leading experts on mental contamination in OCD! Anyone thinking of buying the book she wrote (which is advertised beside the article) be advised it's a book aimed at therapists rather than sufferers and not set out quite the same as the more familiar 'self-help' books. But we must all eventually must become our own therapists. Those with mental contamination who've been through a course of standard CBT may find the book helpful to see how the principles of CBT can be applied to this OCD theme same as any other.
