Reviewer: Sally Ling, M.D. (University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Medicine)
Description: This is a readable and useful book for primary care physicians in the evaluation and treatment of chronic pain. Key chapter points and CME questions at the end of each chapter facilitate participation in a CME program for category 1 credit.
Purpose: The book provides evidence-based approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of chronic pain conditions in a primary care population. Since a significant number of primary care office visits are pain related, a book focused upon these conditions is desirable.
Audience: This book is targeted at primary care physicians. Pain syndromes in adults, the elderly and pediatric populations are all covered.
Features: The chapters begin with an illustrative case. Key learning points are outlined. The subsequent discussion contains ample charts, illustrations, and clinical work sheets for patients and clinicians that can be duplicated from the book.
Assessment: This is a well written and illustrated book containing many tools that will help clinicians provide better care for their chronic pain patients.

Nutritional Counseling for Lifestyle Change
Author: Linda Snetselaar
With all of the information available why do patients still have difficulty sticking to their diets? Nutritional Counseling for Lifestyle Change provides clinicians with easy-to-follow instructions on how to change dietary behavior. The book uses examples from work completed in actual patient settings and emphasizes why a strategy works and what may have happened when it is not successful. Using science-based predictors of behavior change, it focuses on the concept of "tailoring" for individuals and shows how to achieve it. The book also discusses exercise and stress reduction and covers organizational skills necessary to implement lifestyle change.
