The intent of this book is to examine the psychological and social
worlds of physically ill patients-an area that particularly needs
attention today, since the great advances in medical science have
caused many to minimize pa tients' emotional concerns. However, the
pendulum has begun to swing back to the interrelationship of body
and mind. Quality of life is again becoming a critical
consideration in treatment. In writing the book I have drawn upon
my own clinical experiences as a psychologist working with the
physically ill. I have also drawn upon studies of the psychological
factors in medical illness, and I was pleased to find a growing
body of research. Although the book is primarily directed to psy
chotherapists, it will benefit anyone involved in the care of those
with medical problems, such as family and friends, as well as
medical professionals. vii Acknowledgments I would particularly
like to thank Redjeb Jordania for his endless patience, support,
and encouragement from the very beginning of this project, and for
his valuable suggestions and editorial comments along the way."
