The Gift of Our Compulsions: A Revolutionary Approach to Self-Acceptance and Healing

Mary O'Malley

New World Library, 2004

The best I've found
This is the best book on the topic of compulsions that I have ever seen. What impressed me the most were some simple and quick to do exercises that, simply put, have worked every time I've taken the 30 seconds or so to do them. Frankly I'm amazed at the power of this ...

Enneagram Spirituality: From Compulsion to Contemplation

Suzanne Zuercher

Ave Maria Press, 1992

Penetrating insight from a wise nun.
I highly reccomend this book for not only learning about the enneagram but for learning about basic spirituality. Non-Christains can benefit too - it is a pluralistic book. It gives great wisdom about this powerful tool for psychological and spiritual understanding. ...

Compulsion (Alex Delaware, No. 22)

Jonathan Kellerman

Ballantine Books, 2008

Passing for Normal: A Memoir of Compulsion

Amy S. Wilensky

Broadway, 2000

a good book, serious, but humorous at the same time
This book was so incredibly interesting. I've read quite a few books on the subject of suffering from obsessive compulsive disorder and I have to say this was one of my favorites. Amy so honestly tells the stories of her childhood, the way she suffered from tourettes ...

Compulsion

Meyer Levin

Carroll & Graf Publishers, 1996

A fascinating and beautifully written novel
It seems that half of the reviewers here seem either set on critiquing this novel against the actual Leopold/Loeb history, or at least on demonstrating their own knowledge of the case. I'm also a huge follower of the history--but Compulsion is ultimately a work of ...
