Description

This collection of essays investigates the options available in the treatment of pain in chronically and terminally ill patients. Psychological, psychosocial and behavioural aspects of pain as well as physical factors of pain are examined. A variety of methods of pain assessment and control are discussed. The therapeutic modalities explained, including relaxation, hypnosis, coping skills training, massage and mobilization, can be used as adjuncts to more traditional medical and pharmacological interventions. The book includes methods for all levels of expertise. Many of the strategies described can easily be taught and used by health care providers who have not received extensive training in this field. Some startegies can readily be used by patients and their families, while others require consultation with trained mental health professionals. Important topics addressed include assessment of psychological factors that contribute to the experience of pain, family involvement in pain control, the impact of pain in terminal patients on their families, methods to reduce stress, a nontechnical discussion of hypnosis and related techniques, the importance of patient education, and strategies to involve patients in their own care.
