For more than two decades, Dr. Jonathan Grayson's extraordinary
methods have included taking patients at his Philadelphia Anxiety
and Agoraphobia Treatment Center on an annual camping trip, during
which they participate in activities even non-sufferers would find
difficult to endure. They sleep in tents, use latrines without the
benefit of running water, and take torturous hikes. Dr. Grayson's
remarkably empathetic key to understanding obsessive-compulsive
disorder empowers sufferers to not only surmount these challenges
but also to make enormous breakthroughs in coping with their
behaviors and feelings.
