Summary: " The Broken Mirror's" Cloudy Picture
Review: "The Broken Mirror" is clearly and concisely written, gives numerous case studies and takes the reader through the diagnostic reasoning in each case. But, far too much information is rehashed, and the early chapters aren't substantively different than the latter chapters. For example, the definition of the disease is repeated practially hundreds of times, often with a slightly different meaning, and many of the case studies are too similar to offer new insights.This is not a self-help book, but it's a far cry from a textbook.

Summary: AUTHOR REVIEW - EXCELLENT
Review: I read "The Broken Mirror" by Katharine A. Phillips and considered the book to be most informative. I have seen this problem in several of my clients and have started recommending the book as a resource for help. The author did a great job uncovering the root causes behind this problem and offered keen insight into medical and theraputic treatments. ---

Summary: Well worth the read, for sufferers & their loved ones!
Review: Katharine Phillips's pioneering work on BDD will help to change the lives of many. I have suffered for over a decade with this chronic, annoying condition. Her clinical expertise and innate ability to relate to her readers through various case studies and the personal interactions with her patients leads one to a true understanding of this disorder. But the author goes a step further by providing treatment techniques which the patient & their loved ones can employ to alleviate/eliminate the emotionally painful behaviors caused by BDD. I will read it again and refer to it during the difficult times I have in coping with BDD. wisedumi, Texas

Summary: A good start
Review: The book itself provides an indepth look at BDD, my wife was recently diagnosed with the disorder. However, the book simply tells you about the symptoms and what the patient is going through. It provide little insight on obtaining help. My wife met with the author Katherine Phillips but was only offered a place in her new study for her new book. I feel that writing about the disorder is just that. Nobody seems to be offering a solution. For the price, it's a good book to share with freinds and family to help them understand the pain and stress the disorder puts on everday life. Thanks.
