Michael Lewandowski

The Chronic Pain Care Workbook

A Self-Treatment Approach to Pain Relief Using the Behavioral Assessment of Pain Questionnaire

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Sixteen years ago, psychologist Michael Lewandowski devised a series of questions for patients suffering from chronic pain that identifies specific factors that aggravate and perpetuate pain. Those questions became the Behavioral Assessment of Pain Questionnaire, which is now used throughout the world in the treatment of chronic pain. By using this questionnaire, doctors are able to customize pain-management programs to the specific needs of individuals. Now Lewandowski brings this powerful set of tools to readers in a unique self-care format. By personalizing the pain-treatment program, this book offers readers greater control over their own pain-management. Evaluations help them assess pain levels, sleep habits, and general ability to function throughout the day. The book offers a range of advice for maintaining a high quality of life while experiencing pain, both by identifying important life goals and by finding ways to increase self-reliance.
