Welcome to the website for the second edition of Multiple Chemical Sensitivity: A Survival Guide. Here you can read excerpts from the book, order the book, or link to my research website at James Madison University, an educational site where you can read all of my conference and journal papers.

PRAISE FOR THE FIRST EDITION: “We need this book for self-defense.” - Susan Molloy, M.A., MCS Disability Advocate “For those with multiple chemical sensitivity, this book is a survivor’s guide, full of practical suggestions and inspiration. For others, it offers a better understanding of MCS by skillfully blending science with the human side of this complex and often baffling illness.” - Ann McCampbell, M.D. “Professor Gibson has written a book of solid scholarship and compassionate understanding about an illness that desperately needs both. This is a highly readable work offering inspiration and a wealth of knowledgeable advice to those afflicted with this difficult and frequently misunderstood modern health problem. It is a remarkable thing: A book about MCS by a psychologist who knows that the illness is not psychological.”                                                - Lynn Lawson, M.A., author of Staying Well in a Toxic World

Pam Gibson, Ph.D., is Professor of Psychology at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia. She has researched the life impacts of environmental sensitivities since 1992 and has authored numerous journal articles and conference papers on MCS and environmental health.
