Chronic and persistent pain, which is a problem for the individual
who suffers and the society that has to deal with it, has become
increasingly appreciated. Over the last three decades, several
books and journals have been specifically devoted to the topic of
pain, especially chronic and persistent pain. It has been
increasingly recognized that chronic and persistent pain, unlike
acute pain, involves significant psychosocial factors and requires
treatment strategies that deal with these issues. All measurements
and factors that affect improvement seem to be in the psychosocial
area rather than the medical/ biological/physical areas.
Psychosocial conveys the importance of the environmental and
interpersonal factors of the patient's functioning. The writing of
this book has brought together some of the leading researchers and
clinicians in the area of managing the patient with chronic pain.
The authors express their opinions based on experience and review
of the literature available to date. Each of the chapters focuses
on an important element of the assessment and/or treatment
intervention utilized for the individual with chronic pain. The
concluding chapter summarizes the status of the assessment and
treatment strategies for those patients.
