In this age of accountability, and irrespective of whether they
work in health-care settings or conventional mental health
settings, all therapists will be increasingly expected to provide
effective psychosocial treatment to individuals and families who
face co-morbid medical conditions. Statistics these conditions are
daunting: 75 percent of adults over age 65 and 50 percent of
Americans constantly experience chronic medical symptoms, and
prevalence rates of chronic medical conditions that are more than
three times higher than mental illness. While it can be helpful to
conceptualize treatment in terms of individual dynamics and utilize
cognitive behavioral strategies, it can be much more effective to
conceptualize family as well as individual dynamics and to utilize
systemic interventions when indicated. Effective Treatment of
Individuals and Families Facing Medical Conditions addresses the
need for these types of interventions. It provides background
information on 12 common medical conditions, and includes
discussions of family dynamics as well as medical and psychosocial
treatments. While recognizing the role of personality, culture, and
illness dynamics, it emphasizes the centrality of family dynamics
in conceptualizing and implementing interventions.
