Chronic and persistent pain syndromes are as much behavioral and psychological problems as physical or medical problems. Mental health professionals involved in pain management must have a thorough knowledge of the latest pain management techniques in order to select the best methods and strategies for helping each patient cope with pain.

Pain Management Psychotherapy is the most up-to-date comprehensive guide available for the psychological treatment of chronic pain. It addresses the behavioral, emotional, sensory-physiological, cognitive, and interpersonal aspects of pain problems and provides accessible technical knowledge that enables practitioners to alleviate unnecessary pain and suffering. Based on sound research and theory and written by two leading practitioners, this book introduces a short-term therapy model for treating chronic pain that integrates clinical techniques drawn from cognitive therapy, hypnotherapy, behavior therapy, and desensitization therapies. This remarkably thorough volume:

  • Supplies step-by-step treatment methods from initial consultation through termination of pain treatment
  • Describes brief, solution-oriented pain treatment strategies that work in a managed care environment
  • Features assessment and outcome measurement instruments, checklists, worksheets, and clinical scripts
  • Demonstrates the latest therapeutic techniques, including eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, therapeutic imagery, relaxation training, and self-hypnosis
  • Includes pain inventories, questionnaires, and other assessment tools

This book is an indispensable guide for psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and other mental health professionals who need fast, reliable methods for promoting pain relief. It is also an excellent text for undergraduate and graduate students in these and other disciplines, and a valuable reference for insurers, physicians, and managed care providers.

Pain Management Psychotherapy: A Practical Guide

We recommend this book to therapists in our facility within our multidisciplinary pain facility. When a nurse case manager requests reference material to understand the treatment of chronic pain, this book is also recommended. It is one of the first of its kind, it assists clinicians in understanding the evaluation process and establishment of treatment plans for pain patients. The book assists in determining goals of treatment and recommended interventions to obtain the goals. It is an excellent guide for those just starting out in pain management, or well entrench in the pain arena. I have extentsive experience in treating chronic pain and treaching others how to manage these patients, and found tremendous knowledge in this book. Definitely a reference guideline.

This book offers psychologists a clear and methodical look at pain management psychotherapy. Not just an overview but a thoughtful and thorough presentation of various traditional methods, techniques and approaches to working with those in chronic pain. It also offers a large appendix of pain measures, structured interviews etc. to assist with pain assessments and monitor treatment progress. Very highly recommended.
