Psychological therapies for the management of chronic pain
Overview
This paper reviews psychological therapies for chronic pain management, noting that these interventions aim to improve functioning rather than eliminate pain. It categorizes treatments into operant-behavioral, cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness-based, and acceptance and commitment therapy approaches. The resource discusses the theoretical distinctiveness, therapeutic targets, effectiveness, and mechanisms of these modalities for both clinicians and researchers.
