Help for Scrupulosity and Religious Compulsions
The Doubting Disease by Joseph W. Ciarrocchi brings to the fore the most current information available today on religion and scruples, scrupulosity, and obsessive-compulsive disorders (OCD). In this book he helps us clearly appreciate the interior anguish suffered by thousands of people of faith who have this symptomatology and what we can do about it.
As well as offering a concise, helpful understanding of the demographics, etiology and treatment of scrupulosity and OCD, in the Doubting Disease he also addresses the questions:
*How does scrupulosity develop?
*What are the differences between common and uncommon scrupulosity?
*What are some classic and contemporary models of religious scrupulosity?
*Where does the issue of scrupulosity fit into the history of pastoral care?
*What are some practical ways to target scruples and increase motivation for reduction of scrupulosity and compulsivity?
*How and when should persons get help for scrupulosity and OCD?
By now, tens of thousands of readers have enjoyed our book The Indigo Children. The book not only stirred the interest of many people throughout the world with respect to the profound change in consciousness being manifest in these special kids, but it also taught parents, teachers, and caregivers how to interact with these very special Indigo children. So, what do you do with thousands of letters and comments from parents and others about their Indigo experiences? Well . . . you write another book!
An Indigo Celebration is a group of stories, articles, and additional insights into the Indigo child phenomenon. Although we will undoubtedly be writing more academically oriented Indigo books down the line, we wanted to stop for a moment and celebrate these kids—how they think, how they act, and what they’re bringing to our lives. This book is not only meant to entertain, but also to inspire, teach, and provide meaningful insights. Indigo children are part of the positive transformation and shift of the new millennium—and this celebration of them is one we hope you will share in.
