Psychosocial concomitants to rehabilitation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Part 2. Psychosocial treatment.

Part 1 of this series (in the March issue) focused on the psychosocial and psychological responses of the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patient to the reality of his disease. Often this is seen as a devastating picture without any hope of modification. With the use of combined psychosocial, psychological, and medical treatment a more optimistic picture emerges. In this part, the role of psychological and psychosocial treatment techniques in aiding the COPD patient are described. Part 3 will appear next month.
