The Psychology of Spine Surgery
Block, Andrew R. / Gatchel, Robert J. / Deardorff, William W. / Guyer, Richard D.
This is the first book to assemble comprehensive, leading-edge information about the psychosocial and physiological influences affecting spinal surgery--from evaluation to preparation and post-operative rehabilitation. Expert authors translate results from the field's leading researchers into directly applicable protocols to create assessment and treatment frameworks for use with patients suffering chronic, intractable back pain.
