Pathways through Long-Term Health Conditions is a self-help guide for people living with a chronic illness, based on a Lifestyle Medicine approach and the Pathways Model which has been developed by the authors over many years. Long-term conditions – chronic problems such as cancer, heart disease, depression, arthritis and IBS – constitute the greatest treatment challenge of our times. Many of us will suffer from such problems in our lifetimes, and by and large we do not have much control over this. Where we do have a measure of power, however, is in our lifestyle choices and the personal decisions that we make. Focusing on this aspect of long-term illness, Your Pathway Through Chronic Illness is a hopeful and uplifting book that empowers readers to take action on their own behalf. Through clear explanations and enlightening case examples, the authors explain how to apply the three-step Pathways Model of self-care (deciding to change – mastering skills – more sophisticated strategies) in order to help individuals take better care of themselves, and to feel more active and empowered in partnership with professional providers.
