"Craig White's Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Chronic Medical Problems is required reading for any clinician who works with patients who have difficulties related to cancer, pain, diabetes, dermatology, surgery or cardiac problems. Given the increased risk of these problems in our population, this important volume provides much needed information as to how to assess and treat the psychological adjustment that follows from chronic health issues. This book is well-organized, practical, clinically sensitive and extremely valuable in helping the clinician work with these complex issues."

Helpful and understandable clinically relevant text
CBT for Chronic Medical Problems is a very useful book. It firstly outlines the rationale for using CBT with medical problems and gives helpful guidelines on both problem-level and case-level formulations. Each chapter discusses assessment and formulation for specific problems,illustrated with case examples from clinical practice. Some assessment measures are included and links are given to others. Whilst you may want to consult other texts for a more in depth approach this book is a great starting point.
