- 소개/요약Pain is symbiotic with the human condition, a universal experience. When pain persists and becomes chronic however, it can be the cause of intense and sometimes even relentless suffering. Chronic pain affects hundreds of millions of individuals worldwide and changes the entire landscape of a person's everyday existence. This book teaches the basics of how to do, or deliver, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) for chronic pain. The part one of the book provides a working knowledge base of pain and pain psychology. It describes how this knowledge has informed the development and continued evolution of psychosocial approaches for chronic pain—the foundation upon which MBCT for chronic pain is built. The part one also introduces and describes the MBCT theoretical model as developed and subsequently applied to chronic pain. The part two provides an overview of the MBCT approach, which includes a description of the steps needed to prepare and "be ready" to deliver the first MBCT for chronic pain program. It suggests opportunities for further training in pain psychology and more specifically in delivering MBCT, describes practical considerations to address prior to starting up the first program, and includes recommendations for tracking client progress to optimize outcomes and prevent premature drop-out and treatment failure. The part two also provides step-by-step, detailed guidance on delivering the eight-session MBCT for chronic pain treatment. Each session includes a therapist outline as well as client handouts, and built in to each of the sessions are troubleshooting tips, illustrative case scenarios, and clinical experiences, as well as basic supervision so that one can enhance the delivery of this approach. It concludes with a number of suggested ways one can implement and adapt the MBCT for chronic pain manual for optimal use in their own clinical practice and research setting.
