This book contains lots of interesting information and is worth a read if you work with abused children, or are the parent of a "difficult" child. However, the author sometimes "edits" what other people have written in a way that grossly distorts their meaning. For example, she may leave out key points, or re-write the other person's material (and she has done this even in direct quotes) so that it means something quite different from what the original author said. In other words, she edits/rewrites so that the material says what she wishes it to say. So if you find information that interests you in this book, I strongly recommend that you go back to the original source to check the accuracy of Gold's version. Don't rely on Gold to be accurate in reporting other people's research, experience, or opinions.
