This review highlights the role of interpersonal processes in chronic pain adjustment, focusing on how partner behaviors and interactions influence patient well-being and functioning.

The review identifies gaps in current research, emphasizing the need for clearer conceptualizations of partner behaviors, advanced methodological approaches to capture dynamic interactions, and robust measurement tools. Prioritizing couple interventions that enhance communication, relational dynamics, and partner support for functional autonomy may lead to more holistic and effective chronic pain management.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48279,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Psychology","volume":"62 ","pages":"Article 101997"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143077451","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Activism can help to mitigate environmental harm as well as promote the well-being of those involved.

In order to improve treatment outcomes, the past decade has seen a rapid increase in research focused on determining the mechanisms underlying treatment-related gains. The near exclusive focus of this research has been on uncovering patient-related mediators and moderators. However, treatment is delivered within the context of a patient-therapist dyad, and the dynamic contribution of therapist-related factors in influencing this dyad and patient outcomes has remained largely unexamined. The purpose of the current paper is to consider the unique contributions of therapist-related factors within our proposed “Top 3” dynamic, candidate contextual mechanisms: therapeutic working alliance, group climate/cohesion (i.e., in group therapy), and therapist quality. We define these process variables, identify validated measures, and review research documenting their effects on outcomes, drawing from the pain and broader psychotherapy literature. It is well established that some therapists are more effective than others, with so-called <em>exceptional</em> (i.e., not merely competent) therapists shown to produce effect sizes twice as large and demonstrate up to <em>ten times</em> better patient response rates. We focus on identifying the behaviors that such exceptional therapists engage in to harness the working alliance, build and maintain group cohesion and skilfully deliver and train patients in various therapeutic techniques. Future pain treatment outcome research evaluating the role of therapists in these “Top 3” process variables has the potential to provide novel insights into treatment mechanisms, inform therapist training, and to advance precision medicine.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48279,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Psychology","volume":"62 ","pages":"Article 101995"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143035208","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While studies demonstrate promising effects, interpretation is complicated by methodological challenges including functional unblinding, reliance on self-reports, and small sample sizes.

Considerable interest has focused on why acute pain appears to transition to chronic pain in some cases, but not all, especially when it becomes disabling. We examine our current understanding of the processes involved in the progression from an acute injury to disabling chronic pain. Rather than viewing this progression as a time dependent transition with specific static risk factors, we consider whether it might be more helpful to understand this evolution in terms of unique individual pathways. While brief self-report screening questionnaires assessing risk factors may enable us to stratify patients into risk levels, they do not provide information on the unique context and factors contributing to the disabling pain for each person. It is proposed that a 2-step process combining screening and individual assessment of those at high risk will enhance the prospect of both early identification and individually relevant interventions before more lasting changes emerge. Rather than being concerned with arbitrary time limits, it is argued that by aiming to understand the unique developmental pathway for those individuals identified as high risk, early, preventive interventions will be both viable and effective. Even so, there are barriers to the implementation of early assessment and matched treatments, and these remain a challenge for future research.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48279,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Psychology","volume":"62 ","pages":"Article 101989"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142968047","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
