Psychological Treatment of Patients with Chronic Respiratory Disease

By Susan Labott

This book for clinical health psychologists describes the common symptoms of chronic respiratory dysfunction, and the basic features of common pulmonary diseases including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, fibrosis and pneumoconiosis, pulmonary arterial hypertension, sarcoidosis, cystic fibrosis, and sleep apnea. Chapters examine psychological evaluation and treatment, with a focus on anxiety and depression. Cognitive and behavior treatments, psychotropic medications, and anti-smoking interventions are discussed, as are the mental health effects of chronic pulmonary disease on family members and friends, as well as end-of-life, ethical, and professional issues.
