==Reviews== "This practitioner's guide covers, succinctly and still comprehensively, the cognitive-behavioral treatment of three debilitating controversial illnesses. It clearly describes the main aspects of these serious conditions and gives valuable multifaceted ways of possibly alleviating them. Remarkably well done!" - Albert Ellis, PhD, Albert Ellis Institute, New York City "This guide is 'must reading' for those with an interest in the neurobiopsychological aspects of these controversial illnesses, but medical practitioners and patients will reap a great deal also concerning the emotional evaluation of patients, helping patients to cope, and the development of a multidisciplinary approach to these problems. This is the most comprehensive review to date of these complicated and controversial disorders. I highly commend the authors for their work, and highly recommend [this book] to any individual who has an interest in CFS, FMS or MCS." - [[Charles Lapp | Charles W. Lapp]], MD, Director, Hunter-Hopkins Center, Charlotte, NC; Assistant Consulting Professor of Community and Family Medicine, Duke University Medical Center "The book intelligently discusses both the medical and psychological aspects of this group of controversial and frustrating illnesses. It thoroughly reviews a wide spectrum of treatments, from mainstream to alternative. The sections on cognitive-behavioral therapy are practical, specific, and state-of-the-art. I highly recommend this book to practitioners who are trying to understand this group of illnesses, in order to help their affected patients." - David C. Klonoff, MD, FACP, Clinical Professor of Medicine, University of California at San Francisco "Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), fibromyalgia (FMS), and multiple chemical sensitivities (MCS) once thought to be merely forms of malingering or minor psychological disturbances are now recognized as severe disorders with biological, psychological, and social components that profoundly incapacitate millions of Americans. Taylor, Friedberg, and Jason have crafted a scientifically-based but thoroughly readable book that brings together all that is known about the etiology, assessment, and multifaceted treatment of these disorders. Through standard forms, case studies, and a host of other materials, practitioners will learn exactly how to assess these disorders and apply treatment components that fully embrace the biopsychosocial model and psychoneuroimmunology. Empirically-validated and alternative biological and psychological treatments are carefully described and assessed for utility. As a practitioner- or if you are a person or have a friend or relative with one of these disorders- this book is absolutely essential reading." - Richard A. Winett, PhD, Heilig-Meyers Professor of Psychology, Director-Center for Research in Health Behavior, and Director of Clinical Training, Virginia Polytechnical Institute and State University "This volume provides a clear, concise, and balanced overview of what we know and don't know about chronic fatigue syndrome and related disorders. [The authors] do an excellent job of melding empirical research and clinical wisdom. The case studies presented throughout the book nicely illustrate the authors' numerous valuable clinical insights. Taylor, Friedberg, and Jason's biopsychosocial approach holistically integrates material from diverse perspectives and points the way toward the types of comprehensive assessment, treatment, and education programs that are needed." - David Glenwick, PhD, Professor of Psychology, Fordham University
