Ranjan Roy’s introductory chapters explain how effectiveness is measured in psychosocial practice, and these concepts are clearly applied in compelling case examples, including:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Family and couple therapy for longstanding pain issues. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Psychodynamic psychotherapy in a case of abuse and chronic pain. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Interpersonal psychotherapy for identity issues following a hysterectomy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Cognitive-behavioral therapy for \"immobilizing\" pain. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Grief therapy following catastrophic loss. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Multidisciplinary approaches to complex chronic pain. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePsychosocial Interventions for Chronic Pain brings a useful framework of ideas to all health and mental health professionals working with chronic pain patients, including psychologists, social workers, physicians, and nurses.
