Arguing that psychosocial factors that help cause pain must be evaluated and treated in conjunction with physical and pre-dispositional psychological factors for therapeutic success, Turk (anesthesiology and pain research, U. of Washington) and Gatchel (clinical psychology, U. of Texas Southwestern Medical Center) present 28 contributions that look at methodological and conceptual issues, in addition to providing treatment strategies and documenting their effectiveness. Ten chapters focus on models that transcend specific pain syndromes, examining psychological approaches and specific techniques. An additional 14 chapters cover secondary prevention and treatment of specific syndromes and consider issues of special populations, including children and the elderly. Annotation c.
