Take Control: Insights Into Irritable Bowel Syndrome

by Christine P. Dancey and Professor Christine P Dancey PhD

This book approaches IBS from a new and exciting viewpoint - that of coping with IBS using concepts and skills based on the individual's own psychological profile. Although we know more about IBS than ever before, medical treatment alone is ineffective for many people with IBS, who are often left to cope with IBS as best they can. This book discusses the intricate way in which the mind/brain and body interact, in producing a different "IBS experience"...

Refreshing and empowering

Take Control : Insights into Irritable Bowel Syndrome is written by two well known experts who have been involved with helping IBS sufferers for years. Christine Dancey is the co-founder of the UK-based IBS Network and Dr. Claire Rutter first worked for Dancey as a research assistant for IBS before completing her PhD to further her research about IBS. The book they have written oozes with respect for the IBS sufferer and the determination that any sufferer can help themselves control much of their symptoms by using cognitive behavioral techniques to dismiss much of the negative beliefs and attitudes about themselves suffering from IBS. Both writers are very skilled at teaching you how you can control your own psychological profile. I highly recommend this book as a great start to taking back your life from IBS.
