Explain what are the “next steps” for approaching treatment for this illness or condition from this perspective.

1. Select a chronic illness or painful condition and a
corresponding coping mechanism, alternative therapy or
alternative approach to treatment… I chose spinal fusion surgery because it is both a chronic illness and painful condition, often with multiple psychological effects including chronic pain and a myriad of complementary/integrative therapies.

2. Describe the history of the treatment, 3. discuss any applicable theory (or theories). 4. explain “why” we should be interested in the topic you
selected, 5. explain what are the “next steps” for approaching treatment for this illness
or condition from this perspective

My topic is about spinal fusion surgery (and/or its related cervical (neck) surgery) because it is a topic that I am personally famliar with, but I am too ill to write about.

Below is a reference that provides CBT techniques to help people prepare for back surgery, it may be useful. But overall, I am supposed to have at least 4 sources.
