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.

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.
