THE DIAGNOSTIC MANUAL OF MISHEGAS (DMOM) is a delightful parody of
the American Psychiatric Association's "Bible of psychiatry," the
DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders). In
this playful send-up of the DSM, the authors-all of whom are
distinguished writers with deep roots in the field of mental
health-cut through the hundreds of categories in the 1000-page
D.S.M. by dividing all mental disorders into two realms: mishegas
major and mishegas minor. And for each of the sub-categories it
analyzes-spilkes major (and spilkes minor), yenta, kvetch, alter
kocker, shnorrer, dementia-with-benefits, etc.- it provides
light-hearted anecdotes that not only illustrate the diagnostic
category, but also make you plotz with laughter. THE DMOM will
enable readers to transform ordinary tsuris and mishegas-the
glooms, blues, angsts, and general chazzerie of their lives-into
transcendent and easy-to-understand categories. It will turn
kvetching into kvelling and guilt into gelt, so that readers will
learn to live at peace with their inner mishegas and to treasure
its precious and life-giving absurdities. A perfect gift for Mental
Health Month (May), Father's Day, or for your favorite mishugenah
friend or relative any time of the year, THE DMOM is sure to keep
readers laughing long after the last page is read.
