I am very pleased to announce that february 2007 the research project on Acceptance and Motivation in Chronic Pain in Groningen, the Netherlands, will commence. There are several sub-projects that will, hopefully,lead to publications in high-standard scientific journals as well as in popular media. Some of these sub-projects are:
- systematic review of acceptance and motivation measures
- reliability and validity of the Contextual Motivation Enhancement Model (CMEM): a theoretical model of motivation enhancement
- pain anxiety and avoidance in a pain-free population
- the practical use and measurement potential of Heart Rate Coherence (HRC)training in relation to attentional processes (mindfulness)
If you are interested in one or more of these projects feel free to email me at [[mailto:m.kleen@cvr.umcg.nl]].
