The method behind the madness!,

This review is from: DSM-IV-TR in Action (Paperback)
Play on words notwithstanding, Dr. Dziegielewski's book provides valuable insight into the "mindset" of the DSM-IV-TR. She presents a balanced approach and practicl guide to in-depth applications of diagnostice and therapeutic consideraations for a number of issues found in the DSM-Iv-TR. Dr. D is an expert in this field, frequently holding workshops on how to use the DSM. This book is thorough, logical, practical, and necessary. For even though one may have philosophical differences w/the DSM (and Dr. D addresses these in her book), the DSM is still the "tool of choice" for mental health professionals for diagnosis, assessing, and treating clients.

Serious Problems,
By Reviewer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: DSM-IV-TR in Action (Paperback)
Sophia D. (along with Heather Forbes) includes a chapter on "Reactive Attachment Disorder" (RAD), but gives the disorder a different definition than is found in the DSM-IV-TR. The authors rather give RAD the definition used by a fringe group of practitioners -- "Attachment (Holding) Therapists" -- which is a catch-all laundry list of signs that would label ANY child as RAD. If this isn't bad enough, the authors then prescribe Holding Therapy, an unvalidated practice denounced as abusive (see the journal *Child Maltreatment* Feb 2006) by APSAC and the APA's Division on Child Maltreatment. Holding Therapy uses hours of coercive restraint and other aversives to mold adoptees into unquestioningly obedient little Stepford Children.The second edition of this book (2010) excises the chapter on RAD, but has other problems, such as the endorsement of EMDR. 13 of 15 people found the following review helpful
2.0 out of 5 stars
A painful read,
By C. Kiddoo - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: DSM-IV-TR in Action (Paperback)
I found this book repetitious, wordy, and poorly written. Here's an example of what I mean: "The concept of formulating and completing a diagnostic assessment is richly embedded in the history of mental health practice. Furthermore, for many practitioners, the desire to master this process has been emphasized by compelling demands to address practice reimbursement." (p. 29) Fortunately, there are "Quick Reference" boxes that summarize the main points; I found that reading these summaries gave me almost as much useful information as slogging through the main text. If you *have* to read this book, I recommend utilizing these summary boxes. It's unfortunate the text is written so badly, because there is good information in here. I give it 2 stars because I think the topic is important, and the summary boxes make it less painful to get through.
