Reviews the book, Recrafting a life: Solutions for chronic pain and illness by Charlie Johnson and Denise Webster (see record 2002-02317-000). This book is an interesting, creative, and resource-full book, written for therapists dealing with clients who are experiencing chronic illness and pain. It is timely because of our aging population, where 86% of those aged 65 and over have at least one chronic health condition. The authors have extensive background and experience in providing therapy and care to this population. Charlie Johnson is a trainer and counselor in psychotherapy and hypnotherapy, with an emphasis on health. Denise Webster is a professor and a program chair of the University of Colorado School of Nursing. Their experience is evident in their case histories and in how they combine different theoretical models to address the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of their patients.
