Introduction to Coping with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

Hershfield, Jon

Shackman, Lynn

When Ace Orenstein's father receives complaints from his son's teacher that Ace has poor hygiene and smells like urine, he decides it is time to investigate. What he finds is shocking - a room of half-empty water bottles, poo stains on the carpet, defecation in bags outside the window, bottles filled with piss, and drawers of garbage. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder has not only instilled in Ace a fear of contamination at every turn but also almost completely taken over his life to the point where he won't use a toilet or eat in public. Ace agrees to be hospitalized in a bid to help him return to normal life. But to save himself and be reborn, he first must reach the point of no return.
