Understanding Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

As a PhD psychologist and a Chronic Fatigue Syndrome sufferer since 1987, I found this book exceptionally helpful. This is the first book I have read on the topic that demonstrated that the authors truly understood the illness from a patient's and professional's perspective, AND offerred useful and effective treatment suggestions. I have recommended it to my primary care physician and my shrink! I think it has much to offer patients as well.
