Connecting theory, research and intervention, Living with Multiple Sclerosis offers an effective, innovative and comprehensive group-based psychological support intervention specifically aimed at people newly diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (LiMS).

The book explains the theoretical foundations of the intervention, based on developmental psychology in the life cycle, and considering the illness as a challenge to personal development. It analyzes the psychological aspects addressed in the intervention: the redefinition of identity, the sense of coherence, the sense of self-efficacy in coping with the illness, the emotional experiences, the relationship between thoughts and emotions and the effective communication strategies. Describing all session-by-session activities that are carried out in group meetings, it allows for timely replication of the intervention, whilst still accommodating possible adaptations to specific local and cultural contexts. It gives a concrete, positive perspective of personal fulfilment for people living with MS. Furthermore, it illustrates the central role of research in the project and presents new perspectives in research and intervention focused on parenthood.
