FWIW...that’s a great series of books. I have the chronic pain and a few others in the series. Foa is top notch (duh). I have her book on Prolonged Exposure Therapy that was also a good read.

Wow in addition to the wonderful resources which have already been attached, I have been reading this niche field of medical humanities and it is turning out to be very insightful. Something along the lines of surgeon Atul Gawande's Being Mortal, where he talks about revolutionising late life healthcare to look at the patient as a major stakeholder in her well being and palliative care. Similarly, medical humanities look at the overlapping of medicine and different fields of humanities. I was especially intrigued by the medical memoirs and graphic novels especially written in the intersection of healthcare and life experiences. Along with this source for psychology books, I would urge you to look at this memoir on having OCS called 'Nowhere Near Normal: A Memoir of OCD' by Traci Foust to not necessarily directly affect your treatment as much as make it rich with voices of other people who have suffered the ailment and have taken the time and effort to make their voice heard through these memoirs. Other worthy mentions are also 'Just Checking' and 'Triggered'.
