After finishing my comps I wanted a book that would address the last hurdle toward my PhD. I spent a couple of hours in the library thumbing through "how-to-write-a-dissertation" books and finding nothing more than uninteresting collisions of the MLA Manual of Style and Williams' Style (an excellent book BTW). Then I found How to Complete and Survive a Dissertation -- the only reason I pulled it off the shelf was the word "survive" in the title. I believe this book will help me not only survive the diss but also complete it in a timely fashion - Thus far, after a mere week in my possession, it has explained the reason I have become invisible in my department! I knew I needed my own copy. Yes, it is depressing -- but it is better to know what you are up against than to stick your head in the sand and ignore the problems. Yes, it is dated in parts -- you don't need to read the sections on using a computer -- still, even though the statistics are from the late 1970s, they are no less telling about the plight of many an ABD over the last 30 years. Lastly, I would also recommend this book to the significant other of the ABD. It clarifies the process and the pitfalls. It is, as promised, a survival guide surpassing all the deadly "how-to" books.

Sternberg's book is, at times, dated, however he does tap into the hard-to-explain feelings of anxiety facing the ABD. This text has been a sort of therapy for me as I complete my course work and ready myself for the lonely adventure of data collecting, analyzing and writing. Chapter 7 provides meaningful guidelines for organizing your own dissertation-support group.

A must have, besides Gordon Davis' book on dissertation writing. I'd highly recommend this book to any ABDs--it's has a true touch of the author's experience that is easy to relate to---not some "consultant's" who might have no flip of a clue how much work a doctoral dissertation ACTUALLY is.
