Chronic illness and pain are now, more than ever, seen asas major
problems in the current health care system. Because they are
unresponsive to both antibiotics and surgery, theyr are seen as
elusive and mysterious. The National Medical Expenditure Survey
estimates that over 80 million U.S. citizens live with a chronic
illness. The most prevalent are arthritis, diabetes, respiratory
diseases, hypertension and mental illness. This book uses the novel
Robinson Crusoe as an archetypal metaphor for the patients who must
learn to survive on their own isolated "island" of chronic pain.
This unique style is combined with a variety of in-session
approaches and other tools which clients have found helpful in
identifying their goals and progress. By emphasizing the importance
of self-care the authors hope to diminish the sense of helplessness
felt by the both the patients their loved ones.
