Conant has written a book that will give people with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), as well as their families and friends, a better understanding of what to expect and how to react to the disease and all its stages. The medical community and its treatments are discussed, as are alternative treatments. The last chapter covers books, newsletters, audiotapes, and societies on CFS. Karyn Feiden's Hope and Help for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome ( LJ 1/90) is a recent and comprehensive source on this subject; Steve Wilkinson's Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: A Natural Healing Guide (LJ 3/15/90) has the most information on alternative treatment. This readable text will be a welcome supplement to CFS collections.- Betsy J. Kraus, New Mexico Inst. of Mining & Technology Lib., SocorroCopyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc.
