Headache

"This concise but comprehensive handbook covers the theoretical conceptualization, the research efficacy, and the 'how to' of behavioral management of headache. This is an easy to read and easy to use guide for mental health practitioners as well as other healthcare providers who want to understand more about behavioral health integration into primary healthcare or the specialty care of headaches." Beverly E. Thorn, PhD, Professor of Psychology, The University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, AL "For clinicians and others who seek a single authoritative, clearly presented, and fully referenced discussion of how to manage tension-type headache and migraine, this book is what they are looking for!" John F. Rothrock, MD, Director, Renown Institute for the Neurosciences, Reno, NV; Professor and Chair, Department of Clinical Neurosciences, University of Nevada School of Medicine, Reno, NV "Remarkably comprehensive yet brief, this book distills the clinical approach to headache into a well-organized and manageable guide. The seamless meshing of the best evidence with practical guidance for using behavioral therapies in headache makes both the why and the how crystal clear." Douglas C. McCrory, MD, MHS, Adjunct Associate Professor of Medicine, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC; Headache management is complex, and this small volume gives an overview of what comprehensive care should contain. [It] is short, readable, and does a service to the field by emphasizing the importance of using multiple approaches, both behavioral and pharmacological, coupled with the self-management model to bring optimal success to headache management. Family physicians and specialists like neurologists may not always be aware what behavioral specialists have to offer their patients with migraine and other headache types. The behavioral parts of this book ... very concisely outline the basic components of a behavioral headache treatment program, and all this presented in a very readable and engaging manner.;Werner J.
