Introduction
Chronic pain and illness affect more than 90
million Americans as well as countless loved ones and caregivers
whose lives are also changed by chronic illnesses such as asthma, arthritis,
diabetes, multiple sclerosis, or fibromyalgia.
Dr. Steiner has written
numerous articles about living with chronic illness, the challenges and joys
of group therapy, and the Therapist's Professional Will,
a way to protect clients when the therapist is unavailable.
CHECK OUT THE FREE Medical
Information Form Dr.
Steiner makes available here. The form is an easy-to-use, one-page form
she designed to help save lives, improve safety and independence, plus
give people more control over their medical care.
The Medical Information
Form is easy to download onto your computer where you can make changes
to your list of medications as often as needed. Or print
out a  copy and hand-write in your details.
As a psychotherapist who specializes in work with the medically ill, Dr.
Steiner has developed a number
of self-help forms to help people manage illness and limitations. New self-help
guides, Articles
and Publications, and updated Resources
and Links will be added to this site over time.
In her new CD, The
Rollercoaster of Chronic Illness: How to Add Joy to the Ride, Dr.
Steiner shares some of her techniques for helping people with chronic
illnesses live more fully. In the CD, she draws on her professional work
as a therapist, as well as her own experiences living with Arthur, of
Arthur-itis. Please go to the Order Products page to
order the CD.
She and others have found that it helps to have a nickname
for one's uninvited companions. Please go to the Contest
Page to nickname your illness.
