Rezensionen

"Dr. Hunt's book on coping with IBD is timely. The emotional health of patients with Crohn's and ulcerative colitis is often neglected, but so critical to living well with IBD. This book can empower patients to take control of how they think, feel and behave around their symptoms and the settings in which they occur."
