Margaret A. Chesney - Outsmarting Stress and Enhancing Resilience

 

Dr. Margaret Chesney is author of Women, Stress, and Heart Disease, as well as other books. She is the Director of the UC San Francisco Osher Center for Integrative Medicine and she served for five years as the first deputy director of the National Institutes of Health’s National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM).

Among her many papers, I find these most interesting:

• Garrett K, Okuyama S, Jones W, Barnes D, Tran Z, Spencer L, Lewis K, Maroni P, Chesney M, Marcus A. Bridging the transition from cancer patient to survivor: Pilot study results of the Cancer Survivor Telephone Education and Personal Support (C-STEPS) program. Patient Educ Couns. 2013 Aug; 92(2):266-72.  View in: PubMed
• Witt CM, Chesney M, Gliklich R, Green L, Lewith G, Luce B, McCaffrey A, Rafferty Withers S, Sox HC, Tunis S, Berman BM. Building a strategic framework for comparative effectiveness research in complementary and integrative medicine. Evid Based Complement Alternat Med. 2012; 2012:531096.  View in: PubMed
• Kimbrough E, Magyari T, Langenberg P, Chesney M, Berman B. Mindfulness intervention for child abuse survivors. J Clin Psychol. 2010 Jan; 66(1):17-33.  View in: PubMed
• Lane RD, Waldstein SR, Chesney MA, Jennings JR, Lovallo WR, Kozel PJ, Rose RM, Drossman DA, Schneiderman N, Thayer JF, Cameron OG. The rebirth of neuroscience in psychosomatic medicine, Part I: historical context, methods, and relevant basic science. Psychosom Med. 2009 Feb; 71(2):117-34.  View in: PubMed
• Lane RD, Waldstein SR, Critchley HD, Derbyshire SW, Drossman DA, Wager TD, Schneiderman N, Chesney MA, Jennings JR, Lovallo WR, Rose RM, Thayer JF, Cameron OG. The rebirth of neuroscience in psychosomatic medicine, Part II: clinical applications and implications for research. Psychosom Med. 2009 Feb; 71(2):135-51.  View in: PubMed

These final two will be the topic of another post - Dr. Lane, the lead author, is faculty at the University of Arizona and I will be seeing him speak next week.

Also online is her talk from 2010, Mind-Body Interventions: Is there Power in Positive Thinking?
