Writing with compassion, humor, and a deft literary touch, Elias Aboujaoude, an expert on obsessive compulsive disorder and behavioral addictions, tells stories inspired by memorable patients he has treated, taking us from initial contact through the stages of the doctor-patient relationship. Into these interconnected vignettes Aboujaoude weaves his own personal experiences while presenting up-to-date, accessible medical information. Rich in both meaning and symbolism, Compulsive Acts is a journey of personal growth and hope that illuminates a fascinating yet troubling dimension of human experience as it explores a group of potentially disabling conditions that are too often suffered in silence and isolation.Obsessive-compulsive disorderAnecdotesCompulsive behaviorAnecdotesacademic.addict.addiction.behavior.behavioral addictions.compassion.compulsion.compulsive conditions.doctor patient.funny.gambling.humor.internet addict.kleptomania.kleptomaniacs.literary.medical information.obsessive compulsive disorder.odd stories.personal growth.real life.realistic.scholarly.short stories.strange stories.symbolism.technology.true story.virtual life.virtual world.Obsessive-compulsive disorderCompulsive behavior616.85/227Aboujaoude Elias1971-1304486MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782014003321Compulsive acts3712368UNINA
