foot book

I purchased this book for a family member having foot surgery. She was glad to have the book and found it helpful.

A must for anyone working on chronic pain.

I have used this book for nine years in working with individuals with chronic pain. It is skills-based, and it covers most of the important aspects of psychological treatment of pain. If you cannot get this book, try 10 Simple Solutions to Chronic Pain in addition to The Relaxation & Stress Reduction Workbook.

The best of its kind, but do not pay exorbitant prices!

The Chronic Pain Control Workbook is by far the best of its kind. It truly will walk a chronic pain sufferer through a step-by-step program that, if followed consistently, WILL improve the quality of the chronic sufferer's life. I have used it successfully with thousands of patients. HOWEVER, the book is now out-of-print (for some unfathomable reason that nether the publisher nor the authors care to explain) and I am seeing extreme price gouging! Don't fall for it and do not pay exorbitant prices for a book that's listed at $17.95. If you can't find a used one for a reasonable price, "The Relaxation & Stress Reduction Workbook (2000, 5th edition, also by New Harbinger Publications) by M. Davis, Elizabeth Eshelman, and Matthew McKay - ISBN: 1572242140 covers almost all the topics just as well as the Pain Control Workbook does. What's missing are the chapters on medications, theories of pain, and vocational issues, but these are covered quite well elsewhere. The Relax workbook is available for list price of $19.95, but I have seen it used for as little as $10. A MUCH saner way to go!
