Did you know that people have certain mechanisms to distinguish their thoughts and to prevent their minds from becoming filled with unnecessary thoughts? However, sometimes these mechanisms get confused, and children's minds become cluttered with extremely troubling thoughts. If this has happened to you, if you find it difficult to feel safe and confident because some persistent thoughts are tormenting you, then this book is for you.

The book "What to Do When Your Mind Gets Stuck" guides children and parents, using cognitive-behavioral techniques, to confront obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). With engaging examples, activities, and step-by-step instructions, it helps children master the skills necessary to break free from the thoughts and impulses caused by OCD.

Written by clinical psychologists and psychology professors with extensive experience working with children and parents, and featuring very appealing illustrations, the "What to Do When" series from the American Psychological Association addresses a wide range of mental challenges and issues faced by children.
