attention. Physicians training in pain medicine may originate from
different disciplines and approach the field with varying
backgrounds and experience. This book captures the theory and
evidence-based practice of behavioral, psychotherapeutic and
psychopharmacological treatments in modern pain medicine. The
book's contributors span the fields of psychiatry, psychology,
anesthesia, neurology, physical medicine and rehabilitation, and
nursing. Thus the structure and content of the book convey the
interdisciplinary approach that is the current standard for the
successful practice of pain management. The book is designed to be
used as a text for training fellowships in pain medicine, as well
as graduate courses in psychology, nursing, and other health
professions.
