"This is a ground-breaking book which provides a needed overview of self-management and chronic physical illness. The book provided useful definitions that helped to introduce the concept of self-management and behavioural interventions to new readers. Its strengths were its ease of use, accessible and informative content, and the clear application of theory into practice."

Any healthcare profession such as nurses, doctors, occupational therapists who deal with individuals with chronic illnesses will benefit from this book. I highly recommend this book, a 'must read' for nursing students."
