DSM-IV-TR TM in Action

Rating:
Summary: The method behind the madness!
Review: 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.

Review: wow! i never thought i'd live to see the day that i read what boils down to a text book with delight. dziegielewski is straight forward, to the point and plain speaking. this book has been the most helpful of mental health diagnosis aids for practicum students at the agency i work for. it truly ought to be a required text for grad students going into the mental health delivery business! lots of little prompts and reminders throughout the text make it an easy read!
