It is a welcome addition to the literature about managing chronic health conditions. Each chapter contains information that addresses each of the three components of the overall aim of the book. The book is clearly written for health professionals, but the self-management techniques can easily be adopted by clients with the assistance of their healthcare providers. This is a ground-breaker for teaching health professionals how to assist individuals with chronic health issues to self-manage their conditions and ultimately improve their quality of life. --Doody Enterprises
