ABSTRACT

Handbook of Psychosocial Interventions for Chronic Pain provides a cutting-edge and comprehensive review of interventions for chronic pain grounded in biopsychosocial frameworks.

Each chapter gives readers the opportunity to solidify their knowledge of major approaches to chronic pain in an accessible format. Reflecting national efforts to reduce prescriptions for pain medications and increase access to interdisciplinary treatment approaches, the book also considers a wide range of person-level variables such as age, cultural factors, and comorbid mental health conditions.

In this book, mental health and allied health professionals will find the tools they need to understand the real-world delivery of chronic pain treatments in a wide variety of settings.
