A Comparative Study of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Shared Reading for Chronic Pain
Written by Martin Gallagher, 14th September 2017
Comparing Shared Reading - The Reader's literature-based intervention - to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) as an intervention for chronic pain sufferers.
The investigation explores:
- the degree to which CBT and Shared Reading offer alternative treatment methods for alleviating the psychological symptoms of chronic pain
- how far Shared Reading might complement CBT by providing less programmatic and potentially more long-term follow-up to CBT.
