About the Book

Handbook of Family Therapy and Chronic Illness presents a social constructioned approach to the treatment of chronic illness. It describes the methods of working with families experiencing various debilitating medical issues such as multiple sclerosis, irritable bowl syndrome, and cutting. It further discusses the family caregiving roles and the issues experienced by them. This book encourages more of a collaborative approach to treating chronic illness issues within the family system.
