I've been treating for a long time with a wonderful expert in OCD. Unfortunately for me, but great for her, she's moving on to an academic position outside my area.
Other than my immediate family, this doctor has given me more real help and hope than anyone else. She has been incredibly attentive to all the small details, and she's worked hard to get me where I am today, even though I've still got a long way to go.
I was thinking of getting her a nice hardbound edition of something. I know very little about her and I want to give her something that would convey sincere thanks.
Any ideas of a good book--not necessarily about psychology or OCD, but a book that would, even if unread, tell her how much I appreciate her help.
/trying to focus on the positive aspect of change right now, because I'm going to be somewhat adrift soon

Maybe a book of positive affirmations? Phillipa

I love to give, "All Creatures Great and Small" as a gift. It is a wonderful story and the title says so much in and of itself.
My other favorite gift to give is some kind of beautiful trinket box. It isn't too personal but the number of metaphors that can be associated with boxes that hold things makes for easy card writing.
I'm sorry you are losing such an important person to you.

I will probably go with a book. The trinket box is a little too personal for me.
Thanks.
