I'd suggest maybe: "Get out of Your Mind and Into your Life" or "The OCD Workbook". Haven't found any books that particularly emphasize this form of OCD myself, though.

I also want to tell you, without frightening you both too much, that the "Pure-O" form of OCD is strongly related to bipolar disorder (depressions and manias or, just small manias), which I am suffering from myself. So just look out for moodswings that are a little beyond normal, too..
Thank you! I did not know that about bp. I will (gently) suggest that she bring that up with her mental health professionals.
