Description - Cognitive Therapy with Chronic Pain Patients by Aaron T. Beck

This manual begins with an introduction to the basics of chronic, non-malignant pain treatment and some of the theories, as well as approaches, to pain management, with a focus on the cognitive model. The core of the book delineates the application of Beck's cognitive therapy assessment and intervention strategies with this client population, and offers an easy-to-follow, structured approach. Supported by a strong research base to confirm its efficacy, case examples and therapist-patient dialogues demonstrate cognitive therapy in action and illustrate ways to improve collaborative efforts between practitioners and patients. Mental health professionals working in hospital settings, community and university mental health centres and private practice settings should find this directive, time-limited approach a valuable addition to their treatment options for chronic pain management.
