A painful read January 28, 2008
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.

LGSW here - this book is GREAT! November 30, 2007
Thanks DR. D for a terrific and clearly written text book. So helpful, so clear, so educational! This is my third Dr. D publication - tonight I'll be buying my fourth (Changing Face in Health Care...). Thanks so much for making social work clinical practice engaging. Keep up the good work!

A MUST HAVE! June 8, 2007
I have found the DSM-IV-TR TM in Action to be a welcome adjunct to the DSM that is chock full of information. The sample treatment plans provide practical and useful guidelines and the quick reference sections make this book very user-friendly. I am sure I will use this guide for years to come. It is well worth the money!

DSM IV TX In Action is a wonderful resourcs December 22, 2006
2 out of 3 found this review helpful

This book was written in 2002 but it continues to be an excellent resource today. Its focus is on the DSM IV TR and the text is "user friendly" and easy to understand. It provides an excellent starting ground in terms of treatment planning for both seasoned and beginning clinicians. I have been especially impressed with the language that is used and the tools the book makes available, such as the Daily Body Satisfaction Log in the Eating Disorders Chapter. I have used this book as a private practitioner, and as an educator, and feel that it is one of the best publications on the DSM that has come out. I recommend it for clinicians and students alike, it is "worth the read".

Fringe Therapy for Reactive Attachment Disorder December 7, 2006
6 out of 11 found this review helpful

Children with real Reactive Attachment Disorder have come from environments where they struggled to survive. Now, parents and therapists following Forbes and Dziegielewski's advice would put these children through more horrific abuse, using "Attachment Therapy" (aka Holding Therapy, Compression Therapy, Welch Method Direct Synchronous Bonding, etc). The authors dismiss all conventional therapy and opt for the fringe -- "the application of the concepts of attachment therapy is recommended" -- while admitting the lack of empirical research to justify the use of these extreme measures. The authors, amazingly, spell out those extreme and unethical measures used in Attachment Therapy, e.g. take the child out of school and isolate him with mom; use "Holding Therapy" to force the child into catharsis. They think of the child as a bottle -- you have to get rid of the rage before love can come in. [Note that the DSM-IV description of RAD does NOT include any rageful or aggressive behaviors.] That goes for mom and rest of the family, as well. Yes, mom gets to yell out her anger at the child during Holding Therapy. The authors admit: "If one were to watch a therapeutic hold for the first time, without an understanding behind the technique, he or she might perceive it to be abusive or coercive." That's especially true of the Holding sessions involving older children where the authors suggest parents actually lying on top of the child. (And in family therapy, "with the husband physically on top of the mother.") This is caveman therapy! Nothing short of physical, emotion and probably sexual abuse. People using this therapy could, in many ways, lose their children.
