A biopsychosocial perspective on endometriosis: the importance of psychological inflexibility
Overview
This paper examines the biopsychosocial characteristics of individuals with endometriosis to inform the development of targeted psychological interventions. It identifies psychological inflexibility as a key process variable within the symptom network, alongside perceived control and depression, while noting low relevance for biological factors. The resource is intended for researchers and clinicians interested in multidimensional treatment approaches grounded in the psychological flexibility model.
