Description

I began writing with the intention of making sense of my story for myself, but, at its conclusion, I also believe it may have a value to others. In particular, it may be of worth to others OCD sufferers. I know I found such books helpful in the past. The fact I demonstrably show meaning to have been underlying my symptoms, which I was able to comprehend and overcome, may also be a message others with OCD would find of interest. In the professional sphere, counsellors & psychotherapists may be challenged by the extent of my self-analysis, which draws it’s inspiration from Freuds On the interpretation of dreams.

About the Author

David Scotford suffered OCD in his teens and twenties but by the age of 30, through much hard work and self-analysis, had come to a greater understanding of himself and a lessening of his symptoms. He hopes that what he has learnt can be of value to other sufferers and to the therapeutic professions.
