Severe pain, debilitating fatigue, sleep disruption, severe
gastrointestinal distress a" these hallmarks of chronic illness
complicate treatment as surely as they disrupt patientsa (TM)
lives, in no small part because of the overlap between biological
pathology and resulting psychological distress. Cognitive
Behavioral Therapy for Chronic Illness and Disability cuts across
formal diagnostic categories to apply proven therapeutic techniques
to potentially devastating conditions, from first assessment to end
of treatment.
Four extended clinical case examples of patients with chronic
fatigue, rheumatoid arthritis, inoperable cancer, and Crohna (TM)s
disease are used throughout the book to demonstrate how
cognitive-behavioral interventions can be used to effectively
address ongoing medical stressors and their attendant depression,
anxiety, and quality-of-life concerns. At the same time, they
highlight specific patient and therapist challenges commonly
associated with chronic conditions.
From implementing core CBT strategies to ensuring medication
compliance, Renee Taylor offers professionals insights for
synthesizing therapeutic knowledge with practical understanding of
chronic disease. Her nuanced client portraits also show how
individual patients can varya "even within themselves.
