Getting Well Again A Step-by-Step, Self-Help Guide to Overcoming Cancer for Patients and Their Families

Based on the Simontons' experience with hundreds of patients at their world-famous Cancer Counseling and Research Center,Getting Well Againintroduces the scientific basis for the "will to live." In this revolutionary book the Simontons profile the typical "cancer personality": how an individual's reactions to stress and other emotional factors can contribute to the onset and progress of cancer -- and how positive expectations, self-awareness, and self-care can contribute to survival. This book offers the same self-help techniques the Simonton's patients have used to successfully to reinforce usual medical treatment -- techniques for learning positive attitudes, relaxation, visualization, goal setting, managing pain, exercise, and building an emotional support system.Creighton, James is the author of 'Getting Well Again A Step-by-Step, Self-Help Guide to Overcoming Cancer for Patients and Their Families' with ISBN 9780553280333 and ISBN 0553280333.
