Dear Friend, and likely owner, of the author's painstakingly produced, desperately needed, and scholarly endorsed (yet, highly lay-person friendly) achievement in creating and designing the world's FIRST OCPD Life Liberation Program in compendium format: This accompanying book is, in fact, a perfect companion volume to OCPD's 1st Comprehensive Key Treatment and Life Liberation Program - Scientifically Proven OCPD Psychological Solutions and Historically Demonstrated Spiritual Cures. This is because it consists of Progress Monitoring forms; such as, Daily Disciplines sheets, Daily Checklists, Reinforcement Cards, Display Reminder/Inspirational posters, Power Prayers, etc., specifically tailored for the OCPD Program participant to track (record), and monitor (evaluate) his or her progress in extinguishing, step-by-step, all Life-Diminishing, Happiness-Destroying, and Liberty-Assaulting OCPD urges, traits, and characteristics. The clear advantage of procuring a book of this nature is that these forms are INTENDED to be removed from this volume for photocopying, display, and/or lamination purposes. Or, if left in the book, can be photocopied without fear of damaging the source Life Liberation Program compendium from whose contents these forms were reproduced. The OCPD Program participant is encouraged to use these Program Helps on a daily basis in any number of innovative and creative ways. Examples include: framing those posters which have special meaning to you and nailing the frames to a living room or lounge room wall, cutting the reinforcement cards to business card size and placing them on your bedroom dresser, scotch taping them to your bedroom ceiling (as the first thing you see upon awakening), taping them inside your closet door where they are seen immediately upon opening the door, taping them to the inside covers of your favorite books, affixing them to your bathroom mirror, to your desk at work, in your car on the dash, on your boat's windshield, or place special ones in your billfold or purse for ready access and review. You may also choose to 'color-code' with highlighter pens specific sentences on any given card. Other helpful methods to firmly implant these OCPD-freeing and Life-changing ideas of these cards and/or posters, prayers, etc., in your mind would be for you to tape record these great Truths with your own voice for replay and reflection while you are lying down or resting in an easy chair, or just before retiring at night. Or, you may choose to have a trusted, sympathetic friend, tape record them, instead. The PRINCIPAL thing is for you to refer to these 'mental liberation tools' frequently during the day, and place a large check-mark on a calendar you have designated in your own mind as your OCPD 'vanquishing' calendar. This way, you will have a visual reminder that you are, indeed, making progress. And, lastly, procure an expandable folder containing pockets wherein you may place your 'originals', those sheets you have removed from this book, to safely store for future photocopying use. Or, you may prefer to purchase a 3-ring binder wherein you may place your forms, posters, etc., after you 3-hole punch them. Either way, guard your forms for future use and their safe preservation. REMEMBER, these pages constitute your 'LIFE-LINE', professionally-designed, psychologically-Empowering, Program tools to that better life of your dreams, wherein OCPD becomes a thing of your past, simply a memory which ever after will possess NO power to upset or harm you, or those you love - ever again! And finally, it is my heartfelt prayer that you may recognize just HOW VALUABLE these tools are to enhance your life, and reap the RICH REWARDS of doing so! They DO work!

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 these daily monitoring forms/assists, 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 while 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.
