Validation of the Chronic Pain Acceptance Questionnaire (CPAQ) in Cantonese-speaking Chinese patients.
Abstract
The Chronic Pain Acceptance Questionnaire: Confirmatory Factor Analysis and Identification of Patient Subgroups
Over the past decade, the importance of acceptance of chronic pain has been demonstrated. Acceptance has often been assessed using the 20 item, two factor Chronic Pain Acceptance Questionnaire (CPAQ; McCracken, Vowles, & Eccleston, Pain 2004;107:159-166). This two factor model has been supported but awaits further confirmation. The present investigation sought to address this issue in two large samples of pain suffers.

Targeting acceptance, mindfulness, and value-based action in chronic pain: Findings of two preliminary trials of an . . . .
Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) for chronic pain is effective, although a number of issues in need of clarification remain, including the processes by which CBT works, the role of cognitive changes in the achievement of outcomes, and the formulation of a coherent theoretical model. Recent developments in psychology have attempted to address these issues by focusing specifically on processes of acceptance, present-focused awareness (e.g., mindfulness), and values-based action.

Abstract:
The elaboration and evolution of CBT: A familiar foundation and creative application with chronic pain
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.
