註釋Recent studies suggest that half a million people in the US suffer from chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS)--a severe and debilitating chronic illness of unknown etiology. Many mental health practitioners are recognizing CFS patients in their practice, although they are not sure how to treat them. This book is written specifically for mental health professionals and offers the latest research, informed clinical observations, and a thorough discussion of assessment methods and therapeutic approaches to this condition. The volume gives an overview of the history, definition, prevalence, and various explanatory models of the illness, and includes an 8-session behavioral treatment plan that provides clinicians with detailed guidance for implementing a coping-oriented CFS group program. The book is intended for CFS clinicians and researchers, health psychologists, and those who explore the mind-body connection through behavioral medicine and psychoneuroimmunology.
