"This is a detailed guide for blending cognitive treatment components into a comprehensive management program for chronic pain. It is broad in scope and detailed in analysis, with many summarizing components to enhance reader absorption. The relevant cognitive concepts, their evidence-based roots, and how they can be applied are included. Any clinician training for or practicing in the pain management field will find this book a marvel of systematic and comprehensive study."--Wilbert E. Fordyce, PhD, Department of Rehabilitation Medicine (Emeritus), University of Washington School of Medicine
"Managing the subjective nature of the pain experience is challenging for practitioners and patients alike. A cognitive conceptualization can identify the idiosyncratic beliefs, appraisals, and thoughts that contribute to the suffering experienced by so many with chronic pain. Thorn has provided an excellent, evidence-based approach to cognitive therapy with patients with chronic pain. She concisely summarizes the psychosocial literature and provides a clear treatment protocol. This is an invaluable resource for the psychology graduate student or practicing pain psychologist."--Andrew Bertagnolli, PhD, Chronic Pain Care Management Program, Kaiser Permanente-Northern California Region
"[Thorn] beautifully weaves together relevant research with her extensive clinical experience to provide a practical and useful description of a cognitive approach to the treatment of chronic pain sufferers....Following one group of patients throughout the treatment serves as a useful means of demonstrating the connections among the sessions and the incremental process incorporated. This wonderful volume by a master clinician offers important insights coupled with a 'how-to-do-it' format. It will be an indispensable resource for those with experience in treating chronic pain patients as well as those who are new to treating this difficult population."--from the Foreword by Dennis C. Turk, PhD, Department of Anesthesiology, University of Washington Medical School
"In an authoritative yet relaxed and accessible manner, Beverly Thorn presents an elegant masterpiece of manualized cognitive intervention. The book sets forth an impressively comprehensive, step-by-step approach for addressing the errors in thinking that often accompany chronic pain. It is practical, evidence-based, and appropriately rooted in theory, and includes a wealth of therapeutic dialogues, useful handouts, and troubleshooting tips based on the author’s extensive clinical experience. While appropriate for use in one-on-one sessions, it is the group-based format that makes Dr. Thorn's approach to therapy particularly appealing. This book should be required reading for all mental health professionals who are serious about helping people with chronic pain."--Gordon J. G. Asmundson, PhD, Anxiety and Illness Behaviours Laboratory, Department of Kinesiology and Health Studies, University of Regina, Canada
"This book offers the most systematic description I have seen of cognitive therapy methods for pain management. It should be on the shelf of anyone who is interested in the practical aspects of conducting cognitive therapy with persons experiencing persistent pain. The session outlines and worksheets will be quite helpful to practicing clinicians. The book also will serve as an ideal text for students learning to apply cognitive therapy methods to medical populations. I recommend this book enthusiastically."--Francis J. Keefe, PhD, Department of Psychology, Duke University Medical Center

"Detailed, systematic, and very well organized. The session outlines and worksheets served as a practical model for busy clinicians. Troubleshooting tips included in each chapter warned of potentiaI problems so that the therapist could be prepared. This is a book worth keepIng and using, and it is a book worth sharing. It would be helpful for those working in pain clinics, mental health professionals, and traditional physical medicine doctors."Bulletin of the Menninger Clinic

"This book is aptly named, for it truly does take the reader on a step-by-step journey through the therapeutic process....it takes one critically important aspect of pain disorders, how patients come to think about their pain, and deals with the therapeutic process more thoroughly than any other book currently available....a monumental work on the topic of how pain and suffering are influenced, for better or for worse, by a patient's belief system. Beyond this, this book does an extraordinary job of taking current scientific theory and research about the nature of pain, and distilling from that concrete advice for both clinicians and their patients....eminently practical."--Health Psychology and Rehabilitation
"The program is more than a compilation of techniques that have been empirically tested, it is firmly grounded in coherent theory....The cognitive program is designed to be easily integrated into existing treatment....The overall approach itself is directive, yet open and accepting in its tone....The author's clinical experience is evident in the troubleshooting tips she includes....An excellent resource for practitioners and trainees who work with chronic pain patients. The author's skill for applying theory and research to the clinic setting is masterful....This guidebook will help practitioners improve patient outcomes for years to come."--Journal of Pain & Palliative Care Pharmacotherapy
