Dr Kate Johnston, Consultant Clinical Psychologist, National & Specialist CAMHS, South London & Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust
This is an excellent, practical guide written with children, families and clinicians in mind. Dr Jassi has created an accessible workbook and companion manual which will be essential resources for clinicians working with OCD and autism. Step by step session plans will guide novice and more experienced therapists to confidently deliver evidence-based treatment with adaptations for ASD developed through clinical experience.

Dr. Jassi has filled a notable gap in the field by authoring an evidence-based CBT protocol for treating OCD in young people with ASD. The user-friendly and well-written manual and accompanying handbook promise to significantly and positively impact the way in which clinicians care for individuals with ASD and comorbid OCD.
