In the first book to fully examine obsessive bad thoughts, Dr. Lee Baer combines the latest research with his own extensive experience in treating this widespread syndrome. Drawing on information ranging from new advances in brain technology to pervasive social taboos, Dr. Baer explores the root causes of bad thoughts, why they can spiral out of control, and how to recognize the crucial difference between harmless and dangerous bad thoughts. An illuminating and accessible guide to the kinds of thoughts that create extreme fear, guilt, and worry, The Imp of the Mind provides concrete solutions to a tormenting and debilitating disorder. Including special sections on the prescription medications that have proven effective, it is "a beautifully written book that can be a great help to people who want to know what to do about obsessions" (Isaac Marks, M.D., author of Living with Fear: Understanding and Coping with Anxiety ). Review: A Beacon of Hope for This Sufferer of Obsessive Bad Thoughts - I have struggled with bad thoughts in the past, but only recently did they become obsessive. My husband mentioned my distress to his own psychiatrist, and because she knows that I love to read, she recommended this book. Now, I’m not normally one who consumes non-fiction, but this book has the potential to be life changing for anyone who is struggling with obsessive bad thoughts that are violent, sexual, or blasphemous in nature. As the subtitle (“Exploring the Silent Epidemic of Obsessive Bad Thoughts”) suggests, the battle with obsessive bad thoughts is often silent and can feel hopeless. This book gave me hope that will help me continue my battle. Review: Helpful for OCD - Good, informative book. One of the best books that I’ve read for OCD. Makes you feel normal and not alone for having “bad” thoughts from time to time. Highly recommend. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #80,956 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #33 in Compulsive Behavior (Books) #43 in Obsessive Compulsive Disorder #238 in Anxiety | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 726 Reviews | ## Images ![The Imp of the Mind: Exploring the Silent Epidemic of Obsessive Bad Thoughts - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81De-ckduAL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Beacon of Hope for This Sufferer of Obsessive Bad Thoughts *by K***I on May 27, 2026* I have struggled with bad thoughts in the past, but only recently did they become obsessive. My husband mentioned my distress to his own psychiatrist, and because she knows that I love to read, she recommended this book. Now, I’m not normally one who consumes non-fiction, but this book has the potential to be life changing for anyone who is struggling with obsessive bad thoughts that are violent, sexual, or blasphemous in nature.

This book gave me hope that will help me continue my battle. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Helpful for OCD *by R***I on July 20, 2025* Good, informative book. One of the best books that I’ve read for OCD. Makes you feel normal and not alone for having “bad” thoughts from time to time. Highly recommend. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for learning to deal with OCD, but there are more comforting books out there to read *by S***E on March 29, 2014* Someone rated this book 1 out of 5. They said that if you have OCD this book might "scare" you a bit. I have to agree. When you suffer from OCD the last thing you need are more things to worry about, which this book does present. However, it has been incredibly helpful and insightful. I personally preferred "Tormenting Thoughts and Secret Rituals" by Ian Osborn, but "The Imp of the Mind" has a lot to offer. I think the steps the author outlines for treating your OCD symptoms are presented very well. They present a great guide for working through this yourself and it is worth owning and reading without a doubt. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/5313930-the-imp-of-the-mind-exploring-the-silent-epidemic-obsessive](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/5313930-the-imp-of-the-mind-exploring-the-silent-epidemic-obsessive) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-19*
