Written for students and clinicians who are new to chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), this book aims to de-mystify the illness and its management by offering a detailed exploration of the role of the occupational therapist in facilitating the CFS patient?s recovery. Recognising that working with people with CFS involves all aspects of the occupational therapy process, the book demonstrates how many of the skills gained in occupational therapy training and in other area of clinical practice can be transferred to the management of CFS. Case vignettes and more in-depth studies are used throughout to illustrate the syndrome and its management and a full glossary of terms is also included.

Not helpful for CFS,
By
This review is from: Occupational Therapy and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (Paperback)
Not all of the information in this book is completely incorrect, but the parts regarding treatment and advice are useless for CFS. The treatments are geared toward depression and anxiety, and the author seems to have completely missed out on the thousands of studies indicating CFS has a physical etiology, not a psychological one.

Your source for inducing iatrogenic morbidity!,
By Justin Reilly, esq. (Boulder, CO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Occupational Therapy and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (Paperback)
Regurgitates uncritically the anti-scientific positions of the Wessley school of psychiatry. These views have been throughly discredited and shown to cause tremendous iatrogenic morbidity. Shameful.
