Mary Burgess has worked as a cognitive behavioural therapist with patients with severe fatigue for thirty years. In addition to her clinical work, she has been engaged in research and development. This involved developing and evaluating interventions for adults and adolescents who experienced difficulty in getting to the hospital due to the severity of their symptoms. With colleagues, this work has been published in academic journals and led to the writing of the original version of this book.
Trudie Chalder is a professor of cognitive behavioural psychotherapy at King's College London. She has worked as a clinician and a researcher in the area of fatigue for about thirty-five years. She developed the cognitive behavioural treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome, and the approach has now been evaluated in a number of clinical research trials with positive results.
