| Popis: | Chronic pain is a condition defined by its intractable nature, with a host of negative impacts on the lives of sufferers, including a deficit of positive emotions. This article presents an innovative group therapy program for chronic pain patients entitled Being Hopeful in the Face of Chronic Pain. Theoretical background for the creation of the group is presented, along with empirical evidence to support the efficacy of the program. The 6-week group program is described in sufficient detail for practitioners to adapt it for use, delineating the specific activities undertaken in each session. Implications for chronic pain treatment are discussed. |
