Psychological Approaches to Pain Management, Second Edition: A Practitioner's Handbook

Rating:
Summary: Finally a clear and comprehensive practical guide
Review: As a psychologist who specializes in working with people with chronic pain, I have waited years for a comprehensive book that could answer my basic questions about strategies for effective pain management. This is the book. I have used it both clinically and as a reference for my own writing and teaching. The book is very well-written, not too technical and maintains a high standard for the information included. Every attempt has been made to validate recommended approaches with solid research and suggestions with limited or mixed research results are clearly indicated. The authors have selected an outstanding mix of contributors, each recognized as experts and authorities in the field.
