Abstract

TAN and LEUCHT, Graduate School of Psychology, Fuller Theological Seminary, Pasadena, California 91101, USA review the literature (125 references) and write that since Tans published review of 1982 regarding cognitive and cognitive-behavioural methods for pain control, significant advances have been achieved in cognitive-behavioural therapy for pain. The authors review the now much more substantive scientific evidence for its efficacy for clinical pain attenuation . In fact, cognitive-behavioural therapy for chronic pain was recently listed as one of 25 empirically validated or supported psychological treatments available for a number of disorders. The authors further discuss various emerging issues, as well as the relationship of cognitive- behavioural therapy to hypnosis for pain control, providing suggestions for the integration of hypnotic and cognitive-behavioural techniques .
