This book provides an integrative approach for the management and
care of the arthritis patient. Many different psychological,
social, and behavioral factors have been shown to affect the
quality of life of arthritis patients beyond the effects of the
disease and the response to medications and treatments. The book
establishes a biopsychosocial framework for understanding the
interplay between psychological and physical aspects of rheumatic
disease and summarizes the research about the psychosocial
aspects that affect patients with arthritis, including stress,
social support, doctor-patient communication, and sleep patterns.
It explores the practice of incorporating psychological and
behavioral approaches in the rheumatology clinic in order to
surmount the problems of access and enhance the quality of care,
promotes a comprehensive perspective on the numerous issues
affecting persons with arthritis, and provides clinical
guidelines for management.
