Issues of acceptance in chronic pain populations.

Abstract

Recently, within the field of clinical behavior analysis, there has been growing interest in the role of verbal behavior in the etiology and maintenance of psychopathology. As such, a number of individuals have written about the impact of “acceptance” on a variety of clinical phenomenon (Hayes, et al., 1994). This paper examines the possible role of acceptance vs. non-acceptance within chronic pain populations. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
