Written for clinicians, this 1999 book presents in detail the diagnosis, clinical picture, pharmacotherapeutic and psychotherapeutic treatments for obsessive-compulsive disorder and disorders traditionally included in an obsessive-compulsive spectrum. The book draws on the author's extensive experience as well as reviewing the published evidence, including controlled trials, case series and case reports.

D., has written a thorough, practical and well-organized book on OCD and related conditions that is aimed squarely at the clinician...I highly recommend Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders in Adults to the clinician in search of practical approaches to OCD and its kindred conditions." Psychiatric Times "Koran has accomplished a phenomenal state-of-the-art compilation of current knowledge in OCD and related disorders. The author clearly and concisely presents a master's view of diagnosis, psychotherapy and psychopharmocology for a set of common but difficult pathologies. The tone and utility reminds me of the more general, spiral-bound volumes by Schatzberg and Cole that are a benchmark for clinical psychopharmacology. Koran's monograph at least matches, and in many ways surpasses their work, especially in practical discussions of therapy issues. This is very high praise...Finally! A really frank, open guide to managing treatment! No complexity is evaded, bringing out crystalline diagnostic and treatment pearls." Journal of Clinical Psychiatry "Lorrin Koran, M. D., has written a thorough, practical and well-organized book on OCD and related conditions that is aimed squarely at the clinician...I highly recommend Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders in Adults to the clinician in search of practical approaches to OCD and its kindred conditions." Psychiatric Times--PUBLISHER DESCRIPTION: Written for clinicians, this book presents in detail the diagnosis, clinical picture, and pharmacotherapeutic and psychotherapeutic treatments, both for obsessive-compulsive disorder and for disorders traditionally included in an obsessive-compulsive spectrum. The book draws on the author's extensive experience as well as reviewing the published evidence, including controlled trials, case series and case reports. "This is an essential resource and practical guide to treatment planning for psychiatrists and other mental health professionals, whether they favor pharmacological or cognitive-behavioural approaches.
