Book Description
Greetings! And a genuine Welcome! To all Seekers of Deliverance from their present state of OCPD unhappiness, upset, and sadness (to put it ever so mildly!) For the volume OCPD''s Only Hope of Psychological Wellness, The One Scientific Plan Capable of Progressively Freeing the OCPD Bound, a nationwide best seller, historically available under one cover, is now available in two parts. This second part involves the central DISCIPLINES which, when adopted, and internalized, lead to liberation from all OCPD predispositions or leanings, no matter how entrenched or firmly established in one''s psyche these may be. As mentioned in the description for Part 1, this greatly needed and desperately desired dramatic change in the Quality of one''s life experience, for the better, is shown to not only be possible, but a virtual CERTAINTY for those individuals who possess (or acquire) at least a modicum of Insight, who are willing to nurture it, and permit it to GROW, by committing themselves to adopting this comprehensive, first-of-its-kind, OCPD Deliverance Program specifically designed to alter the character and quality of their daily thoughts, to those of a positive, invigorated (energy-elevating), peace-filled, satisfying, gratifying, personally supportive, relationship-enhancing, and others'' liberty recognizing and rejoicing-over, nature. But, for this wholly sane and healthful outcome to come about, the OCPD person must be willing to establish NEW mental disciplines and behavioral practices relative to WHAT they think (the Meaning they ascribe to others'' actions), HOW they think (the Perspective they adopt to view others'' actions), and WHY they say - or should refrain from saying - what they do (the Intent underlying their speech).And for those OCPD people who do adopt this program as a continual Lifestyle choice, the INNER FREEDOM they will experience will be like a dream come true! - So great will the difference be between their former life of OCPD dread and captivity, to their (your!) present, newly-acquired life of daily enjoyment, appreciation, and psychological liberation! Further, this book, Part 2, will provide the OCPD person with daily, acquiring Insight, central objectives to follow, specific and common-sense ways to circumvent and disarm OCPD behaviors before any damage to relationships occurs, methods to extinguish unwelcome OCPD feelings, and key questions to help you identify the exact nature of your thoughts, so as to quickly modify or abandon them.Some closing thoughts: Recognizing that you, as an OCPD person, have been mistaken about some things is a sure sign of growth and progression. But, acknowledging that you have been mistaken about MANY things is the mark of quite an extraordinary individual! Confessing the Truth, first to yourself, then, to others, can ONLY serve to advance your life to a better and higher level!It is to YOU, then, dear OCPD person, who are among some of the most moral, worthy, and capable people on this planet, this book admirably, gratefully, and optimistically (relative to your soon-to-be realized, day-by-day deliverance) is dedicated! We, here, at New Frontier Health Research, thank you for your presence in the world! You are needed, valued, and respected! With All Sincere Best Health Wishes!

Book Description
Greetings! And a genuine Welcome! To all Seekers of Deliverance from their present state of OCPD unhappiness, upset, and sadness (to put it ever so mildly!) For the volume OCPD''s Only Hope of Psychological Wellness, The One Scientific Plan Capable of Progressively Freeing the OCPD Bound, a nationwide best seller, historically available under one cover, is now available in two parts. The first part involves the primary BASICS of what can only be rightly referred to as OCPD Mental Transformation. This thorough, and for some, even dramatic change in the Quality of their life experience, for the better, is shown to not only be possible, but a virtual CERTAINTY for those individuals who possess (or acquire) at least a modicum of Insight, who are willing to nurture it, and permit it to GROW, by committing themselves to adopting this comprehensive, first-of-its-kind, OCPD Deliverance Program specifically created to alter the character and quality of their daily thoughts, to those of a positive, invigorated (energy-elevating), peace-filled, satisfying, gratifying, personally supportive, relationship-enhancing, and others'' liberty recognizing and rejoicing-over, nature. In other words, where all those distressing and disharmonious thoughts, all those argumentative and contrariwise inclinations, all those obsessively-compulsive and life-draining controlling urges, and all those discontented musings and feelings, are, progressively, one after the other, EXTINGUISHED! And for those OCPD people who do adopt this program as a continual Lifestyle choice, the INNER FREEDOM they will experience will be like a dream come true! - So great will the difference be between their former life of OCPD dread and captivity, to their (your!) present, newly-acquired life of daily enjoyment, appreciation, and psychological liberation! Further, this book, Part 1, will lay the solid philosophical groundwork (meaning, overall life approach and outlook) for progressing to The Central Disciplines (or mental practices and exercises) of OCPD Liberation, found in Part 2. Some closing thoughts: The Greatest Truths often overlooked are those directly in front of your face. We can be so close to a given situation that we fail to see what is so evident in plain sight. This book, Part 1, may be just such a book to you. It stands before you attempting to communicate Truths in the clearest of language that CAN dramatically change your life. It will remain up to you, however, to recognize its Wisdom and to appropriate its Insights as your very own. It is to YOU, then, dear OCPD person, who are among some of the most moral, worthy, and capable people on this planet, this book admirably, gratefully, and optimistically (relative to your soon-to-be realized, day-by-day deliverance) is dedicated!

Book Description
Escaping Another''s OCPD Tyranny, a world-wide best-seller, historically available in one volume, is now available in two parts: This Second Part involves the fundamental OCPD survival PRACTICES (building upon Part 1 insights) which must be understood and implemented if the non-OCPD person is to ever find peace and freedom in the OCPD person''s presence, while the First Part concerns the essential foundational KNOWLEDGE about another''s OCPD mental illness to serve as a platform for present and subsequent indepth understanding. The advantage, here, is that of a deliberate separation of these two central purposes of the book to facilitate learning, and allow for greater focus relative to OCPD conceptual knowledge (which is critical, and where every seeker of deliverance from another''s OCPD tyranny must begin) on the one hand, to the Non-OCPD person''s practical ''escape'' techniques (of even greater value) on the other hand, presented here. Don''t remain oblivious to nor unskilled in these practices any longer! Clear, and easy-to-follow, life-freeing instruction - is here!CONGRATULATIONS! This new volume, Part 2, the second half of the author''s groundbreaking work entitled ''Escaping Another''s OCPD Tyranny! The Ultimate Survival Guide for the OCPD Besieged!'', which you have discovered through your persistent (and very likely courageous) efforts to find speedy, practical, and workable deliverance techniques and strategies, now stands before you with the Certain and Demonstrable Promise of Life-Enhancing Reward! This volume, wholly unique of its kind in the world, and with no match in the field of OCPD literature, contains the varied and highly adaptable core mental and habitual relationship practices and approaches that will COUNTER and DEFLECT, and yes, even DEFUSE and PREVENT, the most entrenched OCPD person''s controlling behaviors and detrimental speech patterns directed your way. This, though a bold claim, IS nonetheless, TRUE! For these practices have been, and ARE BEING, successfully utilized by an ever-increasing number of persons from all walks of life (literally hundreds to date!), as well as are being studied and taught by numerous prominent psychologists in America (including prestigious OCPD clinics in Virginia, New York, and England). A further important thing to know about ''Escaping'' is that it has features and Resources that do not appear in any other research report, article, book, or audio/video presentation available today. Most importantly, it is geared to providing you with an abundance of hard-won, experimentally-gained, scientifically validated specialized knowledge, practical tools, well-thought-out strategies, and techniques proven to be effective against others'' OCPD behaviors, in terms of lessoning their severity and curtailing their unwanted occurrence. Some of the unique features in this document are easy-to-read, text-complementing tables, listings, and sections on undealt-with subjects highly relevant to your OCPD situation. In addition, within are Affirmations, Declarations, a goals sheet, Meditations, Reminder (Reinforcement) cards, a resource tool box, and more, all designed as a program, a course of instruction, for your deliverance. Lastly, for further information, visit the web page of Escaping Another''s OCPD Tyranny! The Ultimate Survival Guide for the OCPD Besieged! - As many have found Mental composure, Inner peace, and psychological freedom awaiting them there. May God speed these life-liberating solutions - to you!

Book Description
A PERSONAL MESSAGE to one who suspects she or he has, or is suspected by others of having, OCPD: Dear Reader and new-found Friend, Congratulations!By your willingness and open-mindedness to explore, reflect upon, and consider the validity of the vital message of this book, and its possible direct application to you, you have demonstrated personal courage of a very high order. In all likelihood, you were told of (if not already given) this book by a loved one or dear friend who has your best interests at heart, and desires above all else that you lead a rich, rewarding, joyful, and fulfilling life. But, to do so it is imperative that you acquire accurate, state-of-the-art, scientific (psychologically-sound) knowledge of the condition they feel justified in believing you have. To that end, this book presents a proven program for psychological wellness directed to those individuals who suffer from this mental disability called Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder, or simply OCPD. To be bold and wholly truthful, it must be stated, without apology: it is a serious mental illness that wreaks havoc and creates ongoing misery in the lives of those people on the 'receiving end' of the OCPD person's dysfunctional speech and behaviors. It, also, causes untold harm and damage to the OCPD person, himself (or, herself, as the case may be). That is why this book was written. To help awaken the OCPD person to the destructiveness of their behaviors to others, but PRIMARILY TO THEMSELVES, and to facilitate the emergence of 'Insight', without which no OCPD person will ever recover. Though you may strongly feel this disorder has nothing to do with you, do yourself the favor of obtaining and studying this book if only to increase your fund of knowledge, and to know with certainty that you are, indeed, well. I counsel you not to let fear of what disquieting truths you might find about yourself deter you, or false pride, dissuade you. You may find persuasive reasons, herein, that cause you to suspect you just might have OCPD, after all. And with that knowledge will come the Power to deliver you from bondage to yourself. This compendium is a wholly unique, first-of-its-kind, self-help educational volume, workbook, program of instruction, and personal 'coach' all rolled into one. There is no book like it on the market, anywhere, today. This volume's treatment approach is that of a multi-disciplinary one, within a framework of Immersion Therapy coupled with the relatively new, highly promising, field of study known as Positive Psychology. Numerous and varied disciplines from every field of knowledge, past and present, have been drawn upon by the author to uncover the best tools and techniques, methods and strategies, known to date, that pertain to the unique challenges posed by this highly proliferating disorder. Those disciplines are: psychological and psychiatric (cognitive behavioral), medical, human potential movement, science of personal development, meditative practices, universal religious insight, poetic wisdom sources, and holistic, among others. As it will take the marshaling of all of these 'forces for good' to overcome the deeply entrenched maladaptive patterns and habits of belief, thought, and behavior that make up the mindset of the OCPD person. But, with their combined wisdom from these various sources, it is the author's sincere and earnest belief, that countless OCPD persons will find speedy relief, comfort, reassurance, deliverance, and healing, as will those persons, who by necessity or by choice, interact with them on a recurring basis. May this self-help book, truly a pioneer of its kind, lead the way for OCPD people to become empowered to 'take back their lives', abandon their self-created misery, and enable them to live in harmony and peace with themselves, and their fellow woman and man, as never before, from this point onward – into an ever-beckoning, better today, and brighter tomorrow.With Every Good Wish, The Author

Don''t be disempowered any longer! Help is here!Congratulations! YOU who are an earnest Seeker of Deliverance from the tyrannical control of another''s OCPD behaviors incessantly directed toward you. Behaviors which are making your life miserable (perhaps utterly so) and causing you to experience ongoing feelings of desperation, fear, anxiety, upset, anger, hopelessness, and/or helplessness. (If not a drastic lowering of your self-esteem, too.) Not to mention physical distress and discomfort, and erratic sleep, if that can be obtained, at all. It may even be that you are beginning to BELIEVE what the OCPD person is telling you about yourself as true after all (though clearly against your better judgment), due to their unrelenting never ceasing rhetoric of hurtful and dictatorial speech. And THAT unwelcome belief really IS distressing! Also, you may well be at your ''wits end'' in trying to find a way, ANY way, OUT, to flee from such horrific assaults against your personal liberties of choice and self-determination, and your dignity as a self-directing human being. Thankfully, in this newly-created volume, there is GOOD NEWS for YOU in spite of ALL the abuse and oppression and disrespect you have had to endure from this misguided and, yes, pitiable OCPD person. (For they, too, are victims of their own mental absurdities relative to their believed authority over you, whether their relationship to you is that of spouse, sibling, parent, relative, business associate, supervisor, authority figure, or acquaintance.) Yet, you may now take heart as the contents of this book will provide you with the REAL TRUTH, the Foundational Knowledge, about the severity and genuine dangers of OCPD, which many other researchers and authors are remiss, and/or reluctant, to acknowledge and address for fear of offending the OCPD person. But, without the FULL disclosure of the sobering TRUTH of this disorder, and of its often intractability, there can be NO hope for permanent deliverance to you, the Non-OCPD person, who are suffering under the torment of your OCPD ''captor''. It is just that serious. But, know that this book is gleaming with Real and Justifiable HOPE, with its tenor that of promising solid ANSWERS and SOLUTIONS to your present predicament, and sets the stage for your fully understanding the subsequent Safeguarding Life Principles and Freedom Preserving Practices that follow in Part 2 of 2. For which you will be greatly relieved to adopt! Lastly, for further helpful information, visit the web page of Escaping Another''s OCPD Tyranny! The Ultimate Survival Guide for the OCPD Besieged! Best Health Wishes!

Book Description
Dear Seeker of Deliverance through this mini-Pocketbook Version based on the author''s source volume entitled ''The One MASTER Guide to OCPD Deliverance'': We say unto you WELCOME to this educational site -- and a heartfelt Congratulations! Your coming to this unique book announcement, description, and invitation to acquire little-known, life-changing, sanity restoring knowledge is no accident. You were meant to come here, as the answers you seek to your OCPD condition or situation have been discovered, tested, catalogued, and formulated into a course of instruction (presented in its FULLNESS in the Master Volume, yet also to an empowering degree in this Pocketbook version) anyone can understand, implement, and rely upon to produce measureable and quantifiable results. In other words, to make the QUALITY of the OCPD relationship you are involved in MUCH BETTER than it presently is. (Note, too, the author has diligently searched for and read scores of dozens of books, treatises, and articles, as well as viewed all available videos on this subject, and consulted with several accomplished psychologists and doctors of education, so you would not have to.) Further, this personal letter was written especially for YOU, as the author who wrote it knows first-hand, intimately, and profoundly, what you have been going through: whether you are the person who has OCPD, or whether you are the person with whom the OCPD person regularly interacts (which you probably feel is to your terrible misfortune). The author knows, too, the hidden, aching heartache and ongoing trauma you, as a non-Obsessive Compulsive Personality, likely have (through meticulously observing and extensively dialoging with an OCPD loved one); and he knows the unrelieved misery and trapped hopelessness you, as the non-OCPD person, experience on a routine basis in association with the OCPD person (for the author, too, has ''been there'' and suffered all of the above). He knows all of this because he has lived in close quarters with such a dear, though highly personality-disordered, individual for a number of past years, and in effect, has had a ''crash course'' in the OCPD field of knowledge, having ''majored'' in its unique interpersonal relationship dynamic, and excelled by virtue of sheer perseverance, dogged determination, concentrated attention, and the researcher''s gift of uncovering the Truth! It is as if this author were destined to reduce a large compendium of knowledge in response to the pressing need for rescuing relief to both the OCPD person and their often ''victim-feeling'' relative, associate, or friend. And, feeling the weight and urgency of this ''call'' upon his life, he wholeheartedly embraced it, and produced a product of unparalleled directness, simplicity, clarity, logic, attractiveness, beauty of language, and healing capability, which can only be limited by one''s lack of Insight and honesty, or by one''s absence of will and determination to be set free! Lastly, the volume contains not only the unabridged text of the author''s first two best-selling books entitled, ''Escaping Another''s OCPD Tyranny!'' (addressed to the non-OCPD person) and ''OCPD''s Only Hope of Psychological Wellness!'' (addressed to the OCPD person), but also contains important supplementary material not found in either one alone. Therefore, it is the author''s soul''s sincere desire that you, friend, avail yourself of this one-of-a-kind compendium version, whose parent book has the unparalleled distinction of being the world''s first volume of practical, proven, power-packed methods of healing and deliverance for both the OCPD and non-OCPD person, alike. Without a doubt, you will be richly rewarded for your time invested in its study, and your courage in facing a most formidable foe, but one you will be well-armed against to finally conquer with this book in hand! With Every Good Wish, The Author P.S. Knowing BOTH sides of the OCPD equation, in DETAIL, will empower you as never before to become free!

Book Description
Based on over twenty years of research, radically open dialectical behavior therapy (RO DBT) is a breakthrough, transdiagnostic approach for helping people suffering from extremely difficult-to-treat emotional overcontrol (OC) disorders, such as anorexia nervosa, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and treatment-resistant depression. Written by the founder of RO DBT, Thomas Lynch, this comprehensive volume outlines the core theories of RO DBT, and provides a framework for implementing RO DBT in individual therapy. While traditional dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) has shown tremendous success in treating people with emotion dysregulation, there have been few resources available for treating those with overcontrol disorders. OC has been linked to social isolation, aloof and distant relationships, cognitive rigidity, risk aversion, a strong need for structure, inhibited emotional expression, and hyper-perfectionism. And yet—perhaps due to the high value our society places on the capacity to delay gratification and inhibit public displays of destructive emotions and impulses—problems linked with OC have received little attention or been misunderstood. Indeed, people with OC are often considered highly successful by others, even as they suffer silently and alone. RO DBT is based on the premise that psychological well-being involves the confluence of three factors: receptivity, flexibility, and social-connectedness. RO DBT addresses each of these important factors, and is the first treatment in the world to prioritize social-signaling as the primary mechanism of change based on a transdiagnostic, neuroregulatory model linking the communicative function of human emotions to the establishment of social connectedness and well-being. As such, RO DBT is an invaluable resource for treating an array of disorders that center around overcontrol and a lack of social connectedness—such as anorexia nervosa, chronic depression, postpartum depression, treatment-resistant anxiety disorders, autism spectrum disorders, as well as personality disorders such as avoidant, dependent, obsessive-compulsive, and paranoid personality disorder. Written for mental health professionals, professors, or simply those interested in behavioral health, this seminal book—along with its companion, The Skills Training Manual for Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (available separately)—provides everything you need to understand and implement this exciting new treatment in individual therapy—including theory, history, research, ongoing studies, clinical examples, and future directions.

Book Description
Psychological Statistics: The Basics walks the reader through the core logic of statistical inference and provides a solid grounding in the techniques necessary to understand modern statistical methods in the psychological and behavioral sciences. This book is designed to be a readable account of the role of statistics in the psychological sciences. Rather than providing a comprehensive reference for statistical methods, Psychological Statistics: The Basics gives the reader an introduction to the core procedures of estimation and model comparison, both of which form the cornerstone of statistical inference in psychology and related fields. Instead of relying on statistical recipes, the book gives the reader the big picture and provides a seamless transition to more advanced methods, including Bayesian model comparison. Psychological Statistics: The Basics not only serves as an excellent primer for beginners but it is also the perfect refresher for graduate students, early career psychologists, or anyone else interested in seeing the big picture of statistical inference. Concise and conversational, its highly readable tone will engage any reader who wants to learn the basics of psychological statistics.
