The effects and mechanisms of psychological treatments
for pain management
Mark P. Jensen, PhD
09:15-09:55
This talk will present the findings from two recently completed randomized clinical trials examining different psychological treatments for chronic pain. The first trial examined the effects and mechanisms of individual treatment with cognitive therapy, self-hypnosis training focusing on pain reduction, self-hypnosis training focusing on changing maladaptive thoughts about pain (hypnotic cognitive therapy), and a pain education control condition, in 173 individuals with chronic pain. The second study examined the effects and mechanisms of group therapy treatment with training in mindfulness meditation, training in self-hypnosis training, and a pain education control condition in 308 individuals with chronic pain. In both studies, outcome variables included measures of pain intensity and depression; anxiety was also assessed as an outcome variable in the second study. Potential treatment mediators (e.g., pre- and post-treatment measures of pain-related beliefs, pain-related cognitive processes, and EEG-assessed brain activity) and moderators (e.g., pre-treatment measures of pain-related beliefs, pain-related cognitive processes, and brain activity) were also assessed in both studies. The talk will present the findings with respect to the relative efficacy of the treatments for reducing pain and improving psychological function, as well as to identify the factors that would help us understand how the treatments work (treatment mediators) and for whom they work (treatment moderators). The talk will end by discussing the implications of the findings for enhancing treatment efficacy; specially, by targeting the most important treatment mediators and by improving patient-treatment matching.

Autoimmune Disorders; A Psychosomatic Perspective
Moshe Torem M.D
10:45-11:25
For many years Western Medicine has conceptualized the immune system to be separate and independent from the central nervous system. However, significant scientific advances and research discoveries in the past several decades have provided new evidence that the immune system does interact with the central nervous system with mutual influence. This lecture provides a review of autoimmune disorders from a psychosomatic perspective. Moreover, it also provides the rational and guidance for employing mind-body interventions to promote healing and better therapeutic outcomes in achieving a faster and enduring reemission for patients with an autoimmune disorder.
