M. B. Williams & J. F. Sommer, Jr. (Eds.), Binghamton, NY: Haworth, 408 pages, $49.95. Reviewed by Stephanie Sarkis. No one knows where the next disaster will strike. We all need to be ready to assume our role as leaders in this society and to be prepared to lead in relief efforts. This comprehen- sive book goes far beyond the diagnosis, assessment, and treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The seven sections include general treatment of PTSD; group treatment; children, students, and families; special popula- tions; and media issues. The authors, from the United States, France, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands, provide an international look at the epidemic of PTSD. Although chap- ters regarding trauma in the schools and hostage situations provide vignettes from the respective country, the informa- tion is applicable all over the world. The innovative media section is an excellent reference for therapists to improve their interactions with the media. In addition to providing 16 "rules" for conducting interviews, this chapter provides helpful tips on how to support and guide the traumatized client who is barraged by the media. I learned a very practical tip--ensure that the media spell the names of your client's loved one correctly. The authors report that cli- ents experienced additional stress when their relative's name was misspelled in the newspaper. Two types of trauma are described in the book. Traumas that are classified as Type I are "single, unexpected events that usually culminate in PTSD" (Lindahl, 2002, p. 219). Type II traumas are caused by chronic, long-term trauma. One of the authors (Lindhal, 2002) was very helpful in describing the presentation of these two traumas: "Victims of Type I trauma aretoofrightenedtotell; victimsofTypeIItraumatendtosuf- fer memory problems and confusion" (p. 219). Lindhal's chapter on working with traumatized children is useful in practice. Lindhal provides much information on children and trauma, an area that needs more research. The book is well edited, and the writing flows. The chap- ters are well organized, and the material is appropriate to each chapter. The chapter on psychopharmacology of PTSD was thorough. That chapter's author, however, listed the generic names of medications, not the brand names that the public more commonly recognizes. Graphics showing the effect of medications on the brain would have been helpful and easier to understand for nonprescribing professionals. Vicarious traumatization or secondary traumatic stress disorder occurs when mental health professionals become traumatized when working with traumatized clients. Although some chapters touch on this subject, a full chapter on vicarious traumatization will be useful to the next edi- tion of the book. An excellent Web site, http://www.isu.edu/~bhstamm/ts.htm, contains information on secondary trauma of therapists. The final chapter, "Some Final Thoughts on Competence," is an excellent guide for therapists who want to reach their potential in helping victims of trauma. The chapter is simpli- fied to 14 main areas in which the trauma counselor should show competence. Helping the counselor assess the client for referral for psychotropic medication is valuable information that is often missing in counseling texts. I strongly recommend this book to every clinician. The book is detailed and comprehensive, yet it is easy to read. The book is written mostly for mental health professionals, but it will also be helpful to members of the media and to disaster relief personnel. REFERENCES Lindhal, M. (2002).

Edward Lynch. This third edition of a classic in the clinical literature rele- vant to families and family therapy lives up to the reputation earned by the 1982 and 1993 versions that were hailed as "landmark volumes" (p. xi). This edition continues the tra- dition in "expanding knowledge and perspectives on well- functioning families as family life and societies worldwide have become more diverse and complex." Walsh continues to enlarge the frame of "normal" to reflect the variations of fam- ily that include culture, personal beliefs, structural arrange- ments, gender roles, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic conditions. Continually weaving between descriptions of the myriad intricacies of families and some therapeutic models used to work with them, well-respected authors skillfully edited by Walsh succinctly give the reader overviews of several impor-BOOK REVIEWS 437 tant areas. In Part II, "Varying Family Forms and Challenges," the authors attempt to impart knowledge and awareness of families that diverge from the "norm" from a neutral perspec- tive. At times, factors are presented with oversimplification: With gay and lesbian families and the issues faced in adoptive families in particular, but to some degree with stepfamilies and single-parent families also, there is adequate attention to surface characteristics, but depth and diversity within these categories are somewhat lacking. Although the book purports to have a broad cross-cultural perspective, the intri- cacies and differences in varying ethnic groups relative to adoption and homosexuality, for example, receive little or no consideration. Walsh and the authors chosen to represent the various areas of "normal family processes" have to be taken in the context that is described by Walsh in the basic overview. She seems to subscribe to the theory that individuals can grow in isolation, that in a field of contaminated or polluted soil, a strong, healthy, untainted subject can emerge. This optimism is fanciful and hopeful. An expansion of normalcy in families has been long in arriving. Walsh is successful in putting forth a solid foundation for Minuchin's 1974 comment that fami- lies entering therapy might be seen and treated as average families in transition situations, suffering from the difficulties associated with finding ways to accommodate to unfamiliar situations (p. 60). The jacket review is accurate. This is "an essential work" that belongs on the shelf (or desk) of every practitioner, teacher, and student in the broad field of mental health and social science fields. The inherent danger would be that this book would be the only essential work on those shelves or desks. Normal Family Processes: Growing Diversity and Complexity, third edition, is an overview. It is not the com- plete view, nor should it be taken as a substitute for more intensive study into families, family processes, or various models of family therapy. It is an excellent work to whet the appetite for more study into the complexities of every aspect of family life in a rapidly changing environment. J. Edward Lynch is chairperson of the Department of Mar- riage and Family Therapy, Graduate School of Health and Human Services.

Malchiodi, MA, ATR, LPAT, LPCC (Ed.), New York: The Guilford Press, 461 pages, $48.00. Reviewed by Mark L. Belas, Ph.D. As a clinician, I am always skeptical of therapeutic meth- odology, which is viewed by many in the mental health heal- ing arts as "speculative," at best. I had read about art therapyand even used the tool as an undergraduate and later as a grad- uate student. It always fascinated me, but there was never enough research to substantiate its legitimacy as an accepted clinical tool by all the experts in the field of mental health. Having read The Handbook of Art Therapy, edited by Cathy A. Malchiodi, who also contributed to its content, I again used some of the methods explained in the book with some of the children for whom I provide therapy. I was amazed at some of the results I obtained analyzing some of theartworkofthechildren.Someofthechildren,whohaddif- ficulty verbalizing their emotions/feelings regarding their individual traumas, "spoke" to me through their art. Admit- tedly not an expert in the field, I still had to pay attention to this fascinating method of dealing with internalized, possibly subconscious thoughts and emotions. This book is a compilation of clearly presented chapters dealing with various forms of art therapy, best used as an adjunctive tool for teams of mental health professionals. Malchiodi, clearly an expert in this field, has skillfully edited this compendium of work, beginning with a historical view of art therapy and continuing with chapters showing clinical applications for both children and adults, further delineated for groups, families, and couples. The book is filled with clin- ical case examples and shows actual drawings by the present- ers' clients. What I especially appreciated was the clarity of the writing, which made it understandable to both students and experienced clinicians. I highly recommend The Handbook of Art Therapy, not only for skeptics but also for all who ply their skills in this complicated field of mental health. And for all those agencies without art therapists, you might want to consider adding them to your team of professional clinicians. Mark L.
