Description
Stay current on the pressing issues affecting chronic fatigue syndrome! Presenting vital new information on the biomedical community's ongoing struggle to treat this crippling disorder, Innovations in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Research and Clinical Practice documents the proceedings of the American Association of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome's 5th International Research, Clinical and Patient Conference. This insightful collection of articles by researchers and healthcare professionals deals primarily with two concerns of the AACFS-refining the clinical definition of CFS and renaming the disease to eliminate its negative connotation, and treating the disease through pathophysiological methods. The findings prove essential for healthcare professionals, biomedical researchers, and anyone suffering from this disabling and misunderstood disorder.Innovations in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Research and Clinical Practice includes current research findings on:
the "attitudinal impasse" between CFS sufferers and their physicians
the effect diagnostic labels have on attributions for CFS
subtypes of individuals with CFS based on sociodemographics, illness onset and duration, stressful precipitating events, symptom frequency, and comorbidity characteristics
the relationship between comorbid Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and frequency of CFS symptoms
health-related personality variables in CFS and multiple sclerosisInnovations in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Research and Clinical Practice is the latest chapter in the continuing search for understanding and increased awareness of CFS. It is must reading for anyone connected with the disease--personally or professionally.
