You have shed new light on the treatment of this highly complex disorder. I find your book empowering for clinicians such as myself who have felt lost to provide tangible help for these complex cases. -- Rochelle Shapiro, MA, LMFT It pulls together all the many different sites / journals / treatment options that I have read up in so many different places and put it together in one clear place. Certainly I think it provides a clear insight into what a fibro patient goes through emotionally and what a hard place it is for both the doctor and patient as it isn't a clear cut and dry 'disease' to identify. -- Karen Baron, MA Psychotherapist Sara's book provides a succinct overview of the background and treatment for this complex illness. The suggested treatment protocol is clear and easy to follow. I would highly recommend the book as a resource for mental health practitioners who are treating Fibro patients. -- Ian Friedman, Clinical Psychologist This book is fantastic! It has given me ideas about how to work with clients who have complicated and very debilitating combinations of physical and psychological complaints. Clear, concise and practical, in an engaging and - dare I say, entertaining manner, you succeed in outlining a treatment approach that is compelling and doable. -- Margo Helman, MSW Clinical social worker and Therapist, Anxiety, Illness/Loss, Difficult Relationships
