Book Description

October 15, 2001
This book is a comprehensive long-term coping model that you can use to navigate the physical, psychological, and social impact of an illness.

Begin by learning how to recognize the crucial differences between acute illness and chronic illness and by coming to terms with trauma and cultural stigmatization associated with chronic illness. Go on to learn strategies and skills to improve your day-to-day life, involve family and friends in your experience, and develop more effective relationships with health-care providers. Instead of hopelessly pursuing an unattainable cure, find out how to integrate the experience of your illness into a positive new life.
