Reference:
Price: US$24.95
The aim of this book is to discuss contextual factors and the mechanisms at play during the management of musculoskeletal disorders. Knowledge and understanding of these factors can help clinicians to better understand their patients, themselves, and the interactions taking place during patient-clinician exchanges. The awareness of these dispositions can help physicians improve themselves and the care they deliver to patients, leading to a true patient-centered collaborative therapeutic alliance. Physician-patient collaboration is, in turn, associated with better patient adherence and outcomes, and care, delivered in a positive context, produces better outcomes.

One of a Kind Book
This book is one of the first to talk about this matter. I see the work of Michael Vianin to be truly revolutionary for the area of work. Despite not being into the topic very much, I was able to follow and understand this complex field with minimal effort. I believe this amazing job done by the author is the result of his extensive clinical experience and academic background. I like the fact that he even deals with specific points such as key aspects that are normally taken for granted in the clinical treatments and diagnostics. And he does all this in a technical, yet understandable language. I strongly believe that this book can be a starting point to improve medical treatments.

The book explains how factors such as depression, catastrophizing, and lack of sleep can worsen symptoms.
