Inhoud: The impact of chronic pain on patients and their families can be devastating, with significant disruption and progressive deterioration of many life functions and roles. Typically, chronic pain patients have exhausted all standard medical treatment alternatives without finding relief from the pain. For chronic pain patients and their families, this leads to dependency on the health-care system which leaves patients and their families feeling helpless and hopeless in their struggle to survive their pain experiences. Assessment and treatment of chronic pain requires a comprehensive approach based on a multidimensional conceptualisation of pain that addresses cognitive, affective, behavioural, as well as sensory factors in the pain experience. A cognitive-behavioural treatment programme consisting of (a) a comprehensive multidimensional assessment, (b) a reconceptualisation aspect, (c) a skills acquisition phase, (d) a skills application, maintenance, and generalisation component, and (e) relapse prevention, is outlined. Emphasis is given to the important inter-related roles of the collaborative therapeutic relationship, reconceptualisation of the pain experience, and coping skills training, leading to self-management of life with pain as the ultimate treatment objective.
