Webinar Description
Historically, health care practitioners have treated pain as a sensory experience occurring in the body. Fortunately, over time, a more comprehensive vision of pain has emerged centering the pain in the brain, as a mind-body phenomenon.
This workshop will provide an understanding of how intricately pain is linked to the psyche. We will demonstrate ways of evaluating and treating pain using our knowledge of psychology, psychotherapy and neuroscience.
