Review
"This excellent book combines a comprehensive review of current research and practical intervention strategies with chronic headache sufferers....This book would be of great interest to clinicians and researchers alike working in this area and could easily be retitled 'everything you ever wanted to know about headaches but were too stressed to ask.'" --British Journal of Clinical Psychology
"A very nice fearure of the book is the inclusion of two detailed patient case examples that are addressed first in the assessment section and revisited in the treatment section. Martin provides an authoritative and balanced overview of the literature bearing on psychological factors and headache. His presentation of studies based on whether they addressed antecedents or consequences of headache is a novel and effective means of organizing and interpreting a diverse array of studies. Furthermore, his conclusion that there is a strong literature supporting the efficacy of nondrug treatment for chronic headache is well founded. Martin's conceptualization of chronic headache is well conceived, rational, and sensible. Built on solid behavioral principles, his functional approach to assessment and treatment is well supported by his scholarly, balanced, and concise review of the empirical evidence...Psychologists endeavoring to assist their patients with chronic headaches will find Martin's book a valuable resource." --Contemporary Psychology

Review
"This is an exceptional volume that succeeds in synthesizing research with treatment of the very common but extremely difficult problem of chronic headaches. Rarely does an author write a text that will be of equal interest to health care providers and clinical investigators. In this provocative book, Dr. Paul R. Martin provides a unique instance of the exception to the rule. He has written a comprehensive and systematic review of the literature on chronic headaches specifying the many inconsistencies in the available research, identifying alternative explanations for the equivocal results of studies, and suggesting questions that remain to be answered. The systematic review and critique of the literature presented in this volume will provide clinical investigators with many new insights and should generate a multitude of research studies.
On the basis of available data, Dr. Martin presents a functional approach to the assessment and treatment of chronic headaches that integrates current state of knowledge into a practical therapeutic intervention. Health care providers will find a great deal of assistance in their clinical activities. The clinical material is prescriptive and presented in sufficient depth so that it can be readily translatable into the practice of any health care provider.
This outstanding volume should be required reading for any health care professional who conducts research or treats people with recalcitrant headaches. Dr. Martin has made a major contribution to our understanding of chronic headaches and suggested a practical and promising approach to treatment for this population." --Dennis C. Turk, Ph.D., University of Pittsburgh Medical Center
"This comprehensive survey of literature will serve as a helpful reference for clinicians and researchers interested in psychological factors in headache. The reader is likely to find much of interest here. The clinical advice offered is often provocative and helpful. The research summaries helpfully organize relevant findings. And the functional model of headache is likely to stimulate both clinicians and researchers to pay greater attention to variables that influence headache episodes. Irrespective of whether the reader accepts or rejects the functional model of headache Dr. Martin offers here, they are likely to find the research summaries and clinical material presented of interest." --Kenneth A. Holroyd, Ph.D., Ohio University
"Psychological Management of Chronic Headaches outlines a much-needed systemic perspective for the management of chronic headache disorders. The author carefully identifies the complex determinants of migraine and tension-type headache symptoms and provides the clinician with a functional framework for organizing interventions for the individual patient. The presentation is thorough and personal and reflects the author's extensive empirical and clinical experience with headache sufferers." --Donald Bakal, Ph.D., University of Calgary
