House of Obsessive Compulsives. This is a 2005 Channel 4 documentary featuring founder and former clinical director of the Centre for Anxiety Disorders and Trauma, Professor Paul Salkovskis, as well as a number of my current colleagues and clinicians who I have been supervised by. I often recommend this documentary to people with OCD as an illustration of how severely this condition can impact people's lives, and of the ability to overcome the problem. It is currently available on YouTube at this link: https://youtu.be/G28N4I17xdk
