Psychosocial Interventions for Chronic Pain in Women and Girls

This book is the first comprehensive edited volume focused on treatment approaches for chronic pain specifically in women and girls. Utilizing evidence-based psychosocial techniques, it is directly applicable to the work of all mental health practitioners, and provides a rich resource of descriptions of chronic pain conditions that predominantly or uniquely impact women and girls, as well as practical guidance for implementing treatment, enriched by detailed case studies. Since chronic pain in women and girls is often minimized or dismissed in the medical setting, this book provides new insights into the understanding and management of chronic pain specifically in the female population.
