Psychosocial Interventions for Chronic Pain, 2008 In Search of Evidence
Auteur : Roy Ranjan
This book fills a major gap in the practice literature for healthcare professionals engaged in providing psychosocial care for their patients suffering from chronic pain or illness. Up to now there has been little published material on evidence-based medicine in this field. Roy?s book at last provides empirically derived support and understanding of psychosocial problems and explores the efficacy of the interventions available for patient care. A boon for clinical psychologists.
Ranjan Roy is Professor of Social Work and Clinical Health Psychology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Manitoba. He is also a Consultant (Scientific) in the Department of Anesthesia, St. Boniface Hospital, Winnipeg. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada and the Canadian Academy of Science and Humanities, and is renowned as a researcher and lecturer on the biopsychosocial aspects of chronic pain.
The first book to systematically explore the evidence-based effectiveness of interventions offered to chronic pain sufferers.
Oxford University, a leader in evidence-based medicine, now has a master’s program in evidence-based social work, the only one of its kind.
