Summary
Individuals' responses to their chronic illness or disability (CID) vary widely. Some are positive and productive, some negative and self-defeating, and some have elements of both. This book analyzes how individuals with CID face challenges, find and use their strengths, and alter their environment to fit their life-changing realities
