Reviews and Endorsements
'By working systematically through the exercises in the book, readers can expect to gain further insight into their condition as well as confidence in managing and overcoming it. They can do so in the knowledge that the ideas come from a sought-after clinical centre and are based on the most useful and modern approaches. The book is thoroughly practical, free from abstract and difficult-to-understand psychological terms or 'psychobabble'. It conveys the positive message that patients suffering from CFS/ME can enjoy better physical and mental health.'
