      A comprehensive review of the current state of thinking and research in relation to the management of the psychological aspects of pain. Written in a style and at a level which is relevant and accessible to the practising clinician and also to students it provides a wealth of clinically valuable information on how the psychology of pain may be utilized in clinical practice.

A model is provided to help readers grasp the main points as well as to help organize possible applications. The second part of the book is exclusively dedicated to incorporating the psychology of pain into clinical practice. Rather than starting with rehabilitating those with chronic pain, this book provides clinical application from the beginning. Thus, the book examines why patients seek care in the first place as well as how to communicate with patients. Practical routines are provided for dealing with patients from the first visit and on wards. Special emphasis is placed on utilizing the information for early detection and secondary preventive interventions that will prevent the development of chronic pain problems.The book includes an appendix which may be used as a session manual by therapists using cognitive-behavioura... therapy with groups for early intervention in pain management. May be used as a textbook as well as a clinical reference.

Chaque chapitre aborde les connaissances particulières que l'infirmier(e) doit acquérir sur une pathologie ou un problème lié à l'âge. Il/elle trouvera aussi un encadré « rôle propre infirmier » avec la description de ce que l'on attend de l'infirmier(e) au sein de l'équipe soignante. Tout(e)s les infirmier(e)s étudiant(e)s ou professionnel(le)s sont concerné(e)s, puisque la gérontologie, discipline en pleine expansion, fait désormais partie intégrante de la formation initiale et de la pratique soignante à domicile, en maison de retraite et à l'hôpital. Fruit d'un travail collectif, cet ouvrage a été rédigé conjointement par des médecins, infirmiers, psychologues et paramédicaux, sous la coordination d'une équipe pluridisciplinaire (infirmier, médecin, directeur d'établissement) impliquée dans les soins gérontologiques et leur enseignement.
