Overview
In this comprehensive workshop, Dr. Thomas Hadjistavropoulos offers an in-depth look at cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) for chronic pain management. Participants will explore various biopsychosocial models, such as the operant conditioning model of chronic pain behavior and the fear avoidance model.
The workshop includes detailed discussions on assessment strategies and highlights specific tools for effective evaluation. Dr. Hadjistavropoulos emphasizes various CBT techniques, categorizing them as cognitive (like cognitive restructuring), behavioral (such as relaxation training), and supportive (including psychoeducation).
The workshop is enriched with video demonstrations of critical therapy moments and techniques, offering practical insights into addressing common challenges like adherence to physical rehabilitation and the psychological aspects of chronic pain. Additionally, a segment is dedicated to discussing the evidence supporting CBT in this context.
