Description
This valuable book combines psychological theories of health with the lived experience of coping with chronic health conditions, focusing on the ill person as an actor of their own development. It draws on perspectives from developmental and health psychology alongside the author’s personal experience of chronic illness.
Bonino considers all aspects of living with illness, from issues that impact everyday functioning such as pain and fatigue, to the rebuilding of identity through meaningful new goals and effective actions, and the development of therapeutic relationships. Psychological theories are interweaved with descriptions of lived encounters to centre the experience of the person living alongside illness and provide insightful points of reference that everyone could try using when facing the challenges of chronic disease in the course of their daily lives.
Coping with Chronic Illness is important reading for those living with chronic health conditions, as well as for healthcare professionals looking to gain awareness of the psychological issues caused by living with illness. It is also of interest for postgraduate students of health psychology.
