Beth D Darnall: Psychological Treatment for Patients with Chronic Pain, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

This new edition reflects major advances in chronic pain treatment, equipping psychologists and other mental health care providers with practical, evidence-based tools to improve patient care.

Psychologists often receive limited training in pain management, despite its central role in treating chronic pain. This volume combines core approaches---such as cognitive behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and pain self-management---with emerging, scalable interventions and precision medicine strategies. It highlights new treatment formats, including online and brief interventions, digitally delivered care, virtual reality and AI-supported tools, and targeted approaches for specific populations. Emphasizing innovation, accessibility, and tailored treatment, the book provides clinicians with practical strategies to expand the reach and impact of psychological pain care while complementing traditional therapeutic relationships.
