This invaluable resource presents a state-of-the-art account of the
psychology of pain from leading researchers. It features
contributions from clinical, social, and biopsychological
perspectives, the latest theories of pain, as well as basic
processes and applied issues. The book opens with an introduction
to the history of pain theory and the epidemiology of pain. It then
explores theoretical work, including the gate control
theory/neuromatrix model, as well as biopsychosocial,
cognitive/behavioral, and psychodynamic perspectives. Issues, such
as the link between psychophysiological processes and consciousness
and the communication of pain are examined. Pain over the life
span, ethno-cultural, and individual differences are the focus of
the next three chapters. Pain: Psychological Perspectives addresses
current clinical issues: * pain assessment and acute and chronic
pain interventions; * the unavailability of psychological
interventions for chronic pain in a number of settings, the use of
self-report, and issues related to the implementation of certain
biomedical interventions; and * the latest ethical standards and
the theories. Intended for practitioners, researchers, and students
involved with the study of pain in fields such as clinical and
health psychology, this book will also appeal to physicians,
nurses, and physiotherapists. Pain is ideal for advanced courses on
the psychology of pain, pain management, and related courses that
address this topic.
