Fordyce's Behavioral Methods for Chronic Pain and Illness: Republished with Invited Commentaries 1st Edition

Fordyce's seminal work in pain management contributed towards the shift away from a purely biomedical/pharmaceutical/surgical approach to persistent pain, and added a dimension that involved the person, their family, the whole healthcare team - and was successful, if reducing disability (or the impact of pain) is your goal.This book clearly details the thoughts behind using a behavioural approach, it's accessible (ie not too complex to understand), and adds to a clinician's repertoire as well as augmenting an understanding of how some of the treatments we use in persistent pain management may help.Thoroughly worth getting on Kindle, but I've decided to splash out and get a hard copy to have and to hold...

A bridge between old behaviorism and the contemporary finding in this field in the commentaries of the maximum scientific exponent...i have know Fordyce theory now and i am surprised of the actuality and freshness of his ideas..The book is a bit too expensive, i understand the use of pregiate paper, colour etc, but from my view this is not necessary..
