Handbook of Pain and Palliative Care: Biobehavioral Approaches
for the Life Course Rhonda J. Moore, editor
This book takes both a biobehavioral and a lifespan approach to
understanding long-term and chronic pain, and intervening to
optimize patients functioning. Rich in clinical diversity, chapters
explore emerging areas of interest (computer-based interventions,
fibromyalgia, stress), ongoing concerns (cancer pain, low back
pain), and special populations (pediatric, elderly, military). This
coverage provides readers with a knowledge base in assessment,
treatment, and management that is up to date, practice
strengthening, and forward looking. Subject areas featured in the
Handbook include:
Patient-practitioner communication
Assessment tools and strategies
Common pain conditions across the lifespan
Biobehavioral mechanisms of chronic pain
Pharmaceutical, neurological, and rehabilitative
interventions
Psychosocial, complementary/alternative, narrative, and
spiritual approaches
Ethical issue and future directions
With the rise of integrative perspective and the emphasis on
overall quality of life rather than discrete symptoms, pain
management is gaining importance across medical disciplines.
"Handbook of Pain and Palliative Care" stands out as a one-stop
reference for a range of professionals, including health
practitioners specializing in pain management or palliative care,
clinical and health psychologists, public health professionals, and
clinicians and administrators in long-term care and hospice.
