Fully updated with the latest research and information on current
practice, medication, legal matters, and specific conditions, this
French-language version of the Canadian fourth edition of the
bestselling vital resource is full of tips, suggestions, and strategies
to deal with chronic illness and symptoms, such as fatigue, pain,
shortness of breath, disability, and depression. It encourages readers
to develop individual approaches to setting goals, making decisions, and
finding resources and support so that they are able to do the things
they want and need. Originally based on a five-year study conducted at
Stanford University, this work has grown to include the feedback of
medical professionals and people with chronic conditions all over the
world. Aimed at letting people become self-managers of their own
illness, this book's one simple goal is to help anyone with a chronic
illness to live a productive, healthy life.
