  • Title: Workers with multiple chemical sensitivities: psychosocial intervention.
    Author: Lewis BM.
    Journal: Occup Med; 1987; 2(4):791-9. PubMed ID: 3313772.
    Abstract:
    Treatment of MCS, an illness characterized by reaction to a multiplicity of factors coming from within the patient and from the social and physical environment, must incorporate multiple types of help, all directed toward supplying what these patients require. Medical, psychiatric, and social work treatment are all significant and all different, with overlap in several areas. As in all practice in the medical setting, the overall function of the social worker is to enable the MCS patient to make use of what the physician has to offer by supporting the patient's capacity to cope with the social and emotional impact of his/her illness.
