Reference:
Price: US$9.95
The aim of this book is to discuss contextual factors and the mechanisms at play during the management of musculoskeletal disorders. Knowledge and understanding of these factors can help clinicians to better understand their patients, themselves, and the interactions taking place during patient-clinician exchanges. The awareness of these dispositions can help physicians improve themselves and the care they deliver to patients, leading to a true patient-centered collaborative therapeutic alliance. Physician-patient collaboration is, in turn, associated with better patient adherence and outcomes, and care, delivered in a positive context, produces better outcomes.

Interesting!
Dispositionalism is a concept that differs from the common models that view the individual as a whole, this method analyzes the condition of a human by separating every causality to understand what is actually happening to the patient, because usually, it is not just one thing, it's a combination of conditions that ills the human body and mind.
It was an interesting approach; as a physical education teacher I have a basic understanding of musculoskeletal care, and I think this book expanded my knowledge and gave me tools and ideas to implement. Nevertheless, I think this book is advanced and should be read by people in the healthcare business; it is definitely technical.

Combining Theory with Practical Application
We often see new approaches to address musculoskeletal care, but are those approaches based on real patients' experiences? Michael Vianin, in this book, describes a new perspective on the management of musculoskeletal disorders and pain syndromes. What is more important is that he has developed this based on the experiences and characteristics of the patients.
The dispositionalism model that the author explores is very useful, providing the opportunity to understand aspects like sleep quality, depression, self-efficacy, or how clinicians should dispose themselves, specifically emphasizing key concepts like rapport and building a collaborative approach with the patient. What is most valuable about the book is that it combines theory with practical application. This book is for a variety of healthcare professionals. It focuses on the patient and the patient-healthcare professional relationship. This focus is notable, and if you want to improve these skills and deepen your understanding, this is the perfect book.

A Practical Guide
A practical guide for improving how to treat pain. I like that it doesn't have hard terms that are hard to follow, and it is written in a very clear and approachable style. And the best part for me is the way the author talks about how to approach it; he says we must consider the emotional, the psychological and the physical aspect of pain as a whole, because that is the way our body, mind and soul connects with it as well.
The book talks about sleep quality as a thing to take in consideration and also attitudes. I think this book would help a lot of readers and their professionals in health care.
