{"product_id":"integrative-pathways-angele-mcgrady-9783319893112","title":"Integrative Pathways: Navigating Chronic Illness with a Mind-Body-Spirit Approach","description":"This expansive text offers a comprehensive mind\/body\/spirit framework for relieving individual patients of the debilitating effects of long-term disease while reducing the public burden of chronic illness. It introduces the patient-centered Pathways Model, featuring a robust scientific base for psychotherapy, complementary and alternative modalities, and a religious\/spiritual element, in progressive levels of treatment from self-help to professional help. Chapters spotlight component skills of the model, including treatment planning, patient rapport, and choosing therapies for optimal well-being. The authors advocate for interventions ranging from lifestyle change to mindfulness, and biofeedback to pastoral counseling. In addition, in-depth case studies detail memorable patient journeys from diagnosis and referral to assessment, engagement in treatment and outcome.\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmong the topics covered: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Mind, body, and spirit in chronic illness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- The need for an integrative model to support comprehensive health-supportive change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Chronic disease from a functional medicine perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Mechanisms by which religious engagement and religion-based variables affect health.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Complementary and integrative medicine for the Pathways Model.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- PLUS: Pathways approaches to chronic pain, caregiver stress, diabetes, mood disorders, PTSD, brain injury, heart disease, cancer, and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Emphasizing patient individuality and clinician creativity, \u003ci\u003eIntegrative Pathways \u003c\/i\u003emodels a compassionate approach to lessening persistent suffering for use by health psychologists, physicians, counselors, health coaches, and other practitioners involved in complementary and integrative medicine, pain medicine, and rehabilitation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"The Pathway Model addresses what clinical researchers in the field have been calling for, a research-based approach to health and wellness that clearly explains important concepts and provides an optimal foundation from which to approach health interventions.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePatrick R.
