Research increasingly indicates that psychological states play a key role in the development and exacerbation of inflammatory diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's, and autoimmune disorders. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In this book, editor Kathleen Kendall-Tackett and an elite group of researchers explore the ways physical and psychological stressors such as poor sleep, PTSD, and depression, trigger the inflammatory response and increase the risk of disease. They approach this material from a variety of perspectives. Chapters in Part I describe the biological processes involved in inflammation, focusing on both the typical bodily response to threat as well as on the long-term deleterious effects of stress upon the immune system; while chapters in Part II examine the role of psychosocial stress in disease etiology. Throughout, chapter authors present evidence of connections between mind and body, and emphasize the need for improved communication between physicians and mental health care providers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This book will be a valuable resource for researchers as well as practitioners who hope to share the benefits of these findings with their clients. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kathleen Kendall-Tackett\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 143380476X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781433804762\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e American Psychological Association (APA)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/15\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 263\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScitech Book News\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2009 pg. 85","brand":"Kathleen Kendall-Tackett","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47965791060223,"sku":"9781433804762","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_97532bab-e7c7-42cc-913d-2851e1430623.jpg?v=1767284852","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-psychoneuroimmunology-of-chronic-disease-kathleen-kendall-tackett-9781433804762","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
