Pain management : an interdisciplinary approach Upplaga 2

Pain management is a growing area of interest for many health care professionals. It is a truly interdisciplinary concept, involving a team comprising of medical practitioners, clinical psychologists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists and nurse practitioners. Pain Management: An Interdisciplinary Approach deals specifically with the management of potentially chronic pain, how to assess patients with pain, the factors involved in the development of chronic pain and the setting up and running of a pain management programme. In writing this book, the authors have not only focused on what is done in the management of pain but also whether and why it is done, covering not only the content of interdisciplinary pain management but also the processes involved. An essential reference for all health professionals involved in the all aspects of pain management.
