- Summary:
- "This comprehensive guide shows how integrating hypnosis with psychotherapy and mindful meditation can help clinicians treat patients who suffer from chronic and acute pain. It presents hypnotic analgesia as a viable alternative to psychopharmacological interventions for pain resulting from physical injuries, nerve damage, surgery, neurological problems, and other sources. The book reviews research elucidating the neurophysiological and biopsychosocial roots of pain and provide clinical strategies that can be applied in a variety of settings. It remains using hypnosis to control acute pain and manage chronic pain. However, a major shift in the approach has been to use hypnosis in the context of psychotherapy for pain. The research and clinical work have leads to realize that hypnosis alone is seldom a useful approach, at least with chronic pain. Chronic pain remains one of the most challenging issues facing health care practitioners on a worldwide basis. This book is intended to be a full learning experience for mental health practitioners who intend to treat chronic and acute pain not only with hypnosis, but also with psychotherapy. It is also intended for scientists interested in clinical research on pain. Education about pain is an important part of treatment both for the patient and the clinician."--Preface (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)
