Review

“The book approaches chronic pain from many different clinical perspectives. It offers unique and diverse topics related to pain management intertwining a theme of understanding the psychological aspects of chronic pain. ... this is a reference that will enhance the clinical knowledge of ALL psychologists at various training and career levels, as well as other professionals to treat patients with chronic pain and lower the cost chronic pain has on our society.” (Angela M. Kuemmel and Cynthia Van Keuren, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 60 (42) October, 2015)

“Although the primary audience is chronic pain physicians and primary care givers, anyone managing patients with chronic pain conditions in their practice will find the book very useful. ... The information is extremely practical and clinically useful...Both the content and the short discussions in each chapter make it a good pain reference for a busy practice.” Doody’s Book Reviews
