4.0 out of 5 stars
Solid Book with excellent information on firesetters,
By Kyle Lassiter "Therapist and Life Coach" (Colorado, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Drawn to the Flame: Assessment and Treatment of Juvenile Firesetting Behavior (Practitioner's Resource Series) (Paperback)
Dr. Stadolnik has done us a favor by summarizing previous research and treatment options. He suggests a solid framework for treatment, but points out that the dearth of research in this area has left us with few treatment plans that will work in every case, which is of course what we would all hope for. This is a solid well written book for clinicians, firemen, insurance agents, foster parents and parents who want clear, well written and easily understood information in this often difficult to understand area. Kyle Lassiter, MA, Licensed Professional Counselor

Daddy's book,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Drawn to the Flame: Assessment and Treatment of Juvenile Firesetting Behavior (Practitioner's Resource Series) (Paperback)
I found this captivating narration of firesetting evaluation a roller coaster ride for the mind. It was a phantasmal display of writing prowess on behalf of the author. It kept me on the edge of my seat and i was compelled to read on and on...
3.0 out of 5 stars
Adequate summary for informal assessment only, inadequate treatment section.,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Drawn to the Flame: Assessment and Treatment of Juvenile Firesetting Behavior (Practitioner's Resource Series) (Paperback)
I'll just briefly diverge somewhat from Mr. Lassiter above to say that while the "bulk" of this slim book provides a solid introduction to the issues for informal assessment (falling short of sufficient depth for formal assessment), the very brief section on treatment is completely inadequate if you are a clinician looking for concrete help planning intervention, and is not a particularly good resource for further exploration. There is much more information available on treatment than is even hinted at in this book, even after a brief time with Google: to place treatment in the title of this book is misleading. For context, I'm the clinical supervisor for a family therapy program, and a Licensed Professional Counselor.
That this book was published as part of the Practitioner's Resource Series promises more than it delivers. This was my first foray into Amazon's offerings on the topic, and I'll keep looking.
