Journal/Book: Prof Psychol-Res Pract. 1996; 27: 750 First St NE, Washington, DC 20002-4242. Amer Psychological Assoc. 487-494.

Abstract: Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), a poorly understood illness of uncertain etiology, has received scant attention in the psychological literature. This article reviews the CFS research literature from a clinical perspective, presents explanatory models of the illness, and describes cognitive-behavioral interventions for CFS. Finally, case management issues that are based on the author's research and clinical observations are discussed.
