About the Book
Greetings! And a genuine Welcome! To all Seekers of Deliverance from their present state of OCPD unhappiness, upset, and sadness (to put it ever so mildly!) For the volume OCPD's Only Hope of Psychological Wellness, The One Scientific Plan Capable of Progressively Freeing the OCPD Bound, a nationwide best seller, historically available under one cover, is now available in two parts. This second part involves the central DISCIPLINES which, when adopted, and internalized, lead to liberation from all OCPD predispositions or leanings, no matter how entrenched or firmly established in one's psyche these may be. As mentioned in the description for Part 1, this greatly needed and desperately desired dramatic change in the Quality of one's life experience, for the better, is shown to not only be possible, but a virtual CERTAINTY for those individuals who possess (or acquire) at least a modicum of Insight, who are willing to nurture it, and permit it to GROW, by committing themselves to adopting this comprehensive, first-of-its-kind, OCPD Deliverance Program specifically designed to alter the character and quality of their daily thoughts, to those of a positive, invigorated (energy-elevating), peace-filled, satisfying, gratifying, personally supportive, relationship-enhancing, and others' liberty recognizing and rejoicing-over, nature. But, for this wholly sane and healthful outcome to come about, the OCPD person must be willing to establish NEW mental disciplines and behavioral practices relative to WHAT they think (the Meaning they ascribe to others' actions), HOW they think (the Perspective they adopt to view others' actions), and WHY they say - or should refrain from saying - what they do (the Intent underlying their speech). And for those OCPD people who do adopt this program as a continual Lifestyle choice, the INNER FREEDOM they will experience will be like a dream come true! - So great will the difference be between their former life of OCPD dread and captivity, to their (your!) present, newly-acquired life of daily enjoyment, appreciation, and psychological liberation! Further, this book, Part 2, will provide the OCPD person with daily, acquiring Insight, central objectives to follow, specific and common-sense ways to circumvent and disarm OCPD behaviors before any damage to relationships occurs, methods to extinguish unwelcome OCPD feelings, and key questions to help you identify the exact nature of your thoughts, so as to quickly modify or abandon them. Some closing thoughts: Recognizing that you, as an OCPD person, have been mistaken about some things is a sure sign of growth and progression. But, acknowledging that you have been mistaken about MANY things is the mark of quite an extraordinary individual! Confessing the Truth, first to yourself, then, to others, can ONLY serve to advance your life to a better and higher level! It is to YOU, then, dear OCPD person, who are among some of the most moral, worthy, and capable people on this planet, this book admirably, gratefully, and optimistically (relative to your soon-to-be realized, day-by-day deliverance) is dedicated! We, here, at New Frontier Health Research, thank you for your presence in the world! You are needed, valued, and respected! With All Sincere Best Health Wishes!

About the Author: Mack Ethridge is a professional writer/researcher/educator, as well as a life-long psychology major, who has devoted thousands of hours to the study of Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder, and draws upon his first-hand observations of this disorder in action. What distinguishes his writings from others is his refreshingly holistic (inter-disciplinary) approach and profound depth of understanding regarding OCPD, which frankly, is simply not evident in other treatment regimens. The result is an attractive, readily adaptable program appealing to all personality types. He has, also, pioneered methods and techniques of how the OCPD person may best obtain Insight into their disorder, and thereby, pave the road to their recovery. Not a stranger to the medical field, Mack's talents have been utilized by one of America's best hospitals of nationally recognized excellence, and by an internationally esteemed medical reporting agency. Further, Mack has edited such prestigious periodicals as The Journal of Neurosurgery, of world-wide circulation; as well as such notable publications as The Comprehensive Survey of Doctorate Recipients, of The National Academy of Sciences fame; and, as a career editor, has received multiple commendations and awards. As a skilled communicator, he also wrote and published a world-wide newsletter, The ABP Monitor, of multiple thousand subscribers teaching them how to evaluate personal and professional business partnerships with discriminating insight and wisdom. Lastly, Mack has personally witnessed the ongoing heartache and trauma of a relative suffering from their OCPD disorder, and experienced the relationship-crippling characteristics of OCPD behaviors by this family member over a period of several years. And through this Research Report, he seeks to equip those OCPD people who suffer from this disorder with the prerequisite knowledge and tools necessary for them to progressively become free of all its detrimental, health-harming, and interpersonal relationship assaulting compulsions. Mack's first volume on this subject, Escaping Another's OCPD Tyranny -- The Ultimate Survival Guide, directed to the non-OCPD person, is now an international best seller, and he serves as private consultant to an ever-growing OCPD clientele. Mack is, also, one of the few recognized lay experts in America on this most-distressing personality disorder known as OCPD. His writings on this, and other health-related concerns, are known on three continents.
