Powerful story

Revisado: 05-17-24

Should be required reading for anyone concerned about improving the safety net and addressing inequality. This is especially true of those who are among the elites.

I’m a child psychiatrist, and will be referring families to this book.

This is an excellent combination of accumulated wisdom from 3 therapists. The world has needed a book like this for years. I’ll be frequently recommending it.

Thoughtful push back vs. popular trauma narratives

Revisado: 03-08-22

Dr Scheeringa makes a strong case that much of what has become popular regarding “trauma” is distorted and exaggerated. He makes a lonely call for restraint.

Anyone in the field should read this and re-examine whether they have opinions based on firm science or not. It’s not a perfect book, but it offers much to consider.

Thoughtful author and should be considered

Revisado: 11-24-21

This is a well organized and thoughtful book by an accomplished woman who does hold a strongly feminist perspective. It is yet another example of what we need, more high quality discussion of these issues and more free and open assessment of how we arrived in our current situation.

Thoughtful look at a complex and difficult issue. Raises serious questions about current practice

Revisado: 05-11-21

Ms. Shrier has spent considerable effort on researching this book and provides many disturbing first hand accounts. She is not hateful or taking a strident stance. Unfortunately we do not have a good database to drive medical decision making, and need further discussions to flesh out the complexities. Being skeptical seems appropriate at this time.

It is a sad commentary that ad hominem attacks and book bans serve to limit open discussion. We need more debate regarding particular facts and analysis. For those interested in this important topic, I highly recommend it.

Very good starting point to understand what is going on with ADHD

Revisado: 10-14-16

This book does a nice job of balancing the legitimate use of medication and the current situation of haphazard diagnosis and rampant over diagnosis.

Schwartz does a quality review of the history of the disorder. It is well written. This is not a book about the science or fine points of this diagnostic label, or treatment. He does not talk much about psychosocial treatment options, mentioning only CBT, nor does it talk about ecological issues contributing.

Large amounts of information- well presented

Revisado: 07-11-15

Overall I really enjoyed this and learned a good bit. For those interested in neuroscience / psychiatry this is a very up to date text. There are great parts, interesting stories with history of drug development- but the total can be disjointed.

Great synopsis of the research -

A fabulous review of research in stress, and well told. Humorous. Wish that there were more detail in the suggestions.
