Summary
The Boy Who Finally Stopped Washing derives its title and starts a troubled boy’s story from the bestselling book The Boy Who Couldn’t Stop Washing by Judith Rapoport, MD. The former book illustrates one man’s struggles with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) for over twenty-five years. He is both a sufferer and a psychotherapist who has primarily treated OCD for over ten years; he elaborates on his views about managing and tolerating his and others’ symptoms. He has suffered almost exclusively with covert compulsions; much less has been written about such internal battles. By carefully scrutinizing important life events, the author brings OCD to life using humor and profound understanding and insight. An entire section of the book looks at how loved ones have and do observe and respond to difficulties imposed upon the author and his relationships with others. Also included in the book is a history of the author’s revelation of his diagnosis and his experiences about how others react to learning his very personal information. At the time of publication, it is believed to be the only book that provides extensive and comprehensive wisdom and knowledge about OCD “from both sides of the couch.” It is one of the few books that examines decades worth of OCD experiences.
