The elaboration and evolution of CBT: A familiar foundation and creative application with chronic pain
Publication
The case presented by Wicksell and colleagues (2005) raises a number of intriguing issues, particularly about the utility and application of cognitive and behavioral approaches in pain management. Rather than focus on the specific application of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT; Hayes, Strosahl, and Wilson, 1999) in this case, we have chosen to comment on how their work reminds us of the similarities across CBT approaches and to suggest some minor but important modifications.
