This monster $\int\frac{xf'(x)}{f(x)}$ is giving me headaches. How to approximate?

This integral is giving me a headache:

$$\int_{-b}^{b}\frac{xf'(x)}{f(x)}dx$$

where $f(x)=(c + d - e)\text{sech}(ab)\cosh(a x)+(c-d)\text{csch}(ab)\sinh(a x) + e$

I could not come up with any general or $f$-specific way of approximating it. While Euler’s did not simplify much, a clever use of Taylor expansion might help. By approximation, I mean a general approximated form of solution (without having specific values). Any effort is greatly appreciated?
