Treating people with chronic disease a psychological guide

With increasing frequency, psychotherapy practitioners are encountering patients who struggle with enduring physical illnesses, such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, AIDS, diabetes, and kidney disease. Chronic physical illnesses have a common psychological thread: the individual's experience of life will never again return to the pre-illness sense of self, of options, of invulnerability, of obliviousness to the body's functioning. The individual's strongest wish is to return to "normal." The psychotherapist's strongest wish is to heal. The uncertainty, progression, and unpredictability of illness create anxiety in the therapist as well as in the patient. /// [This volume offers] practitioners straightforward guidelines for overcoming these anxieties and helping people adjust to lives drastically changed by chronic illness. Each chapter presents a different view of illness from a different vantage point, reinforcing the authors' holographic model of treatment. Detailed case examples in support of the text are offered throughout. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2004 APA, all rights reserved).
