Psychosocial Interventions for Chronic Pain in Women and Girls

Psychosocial Interventions for Chronic Pain in Women and Girls

by Laura A. Payne

This is the first comprehensive edited volume dedicated to the treatment of chronic pain specifically in women and girls. Drawing on evidence-based psychosocial techniques, the book is directly applicable for mental health practitioners and other healthcare providers. It offers detailed descriptions of chronic pain conditions that predominantly or uniquely affect females and provides practical guidance for implementing effective interventions. Rich case studies illustrate real-world applications, enhancing understanding and clinical decision-making. By addressing the frequent minimization or dismissal of chronic pain in women and girls within medical settings, this book offers critical insights into improving recognition, understanding, and management of chronic pain in the female population.
