  • comparison of Psychological and physical Function in neuropathic pain and nociceptive pain implications for cognitive behavioral pain management programs
    European Journal of Pain, 2008
    Co-Authors: Clare H Daniel, Jane Narewska, M G Serpell, Barbara Hoggart, Robert W Johnson, Andrew S C Rice
    Abstract:

    Research has increased our understanding of the Psychological and physical Functioning associated with persistent pain and has facilitated the development of cognitive behavioral pain management programs to help improve people’s physical Function and decrease their distress in the presence of persistent pain. The majority of this research has focused on nociceptive pain or pain of mixed etiology. There has been less focus on these aspects of neuropathic pain. It is possible that differences exist in the Function and difficulties associated with nociceptive and neuropathic pain. These differences may be associated with our clinical observation that some people with neuropathic pain have difficulty applying some aspects of the theory and practice of cognitive behavioral pain management. The purpose of this study was to compare a single neuropathic pain condition (post-herpetic neuralgia) with a persistent pain of nociceptive origin (low back pain) and determine whether differences exist in: (1) physical and Psychological Function; (2) factors that increase difficulties; (3) responses to pain; (4) beliefs about pain and (5) problems experienced. The results suggest that the differences between the two groups were not on the major variables of pain, mood, cognition and physical Function. The main differences were in factors that increase pain, people’s responses to pain, their beliefs about diagnosis and the cause of pain and the problems they reported as a result of experiencing pain. The implications of our findings for the development of cognitive behavioral pain management programs for people with neuropathic pain are discussed.

  • a mind body program for older adults with chronic low back pain results of a pilot study
    Pain Medicine, 2009
    Co-Authors: Natalia E Morone, Bruce L Rollman, Charity G Moore, Qin Li, Debra K Weiner
    Abstract:

    Objectives. Determine the impact of an 8-week mindfulness meditation program on disability, Psychological Function, and pain severity in community-dwelling older adults with chronic low back pain, and to test the education control program for feasibility. Design. Randomized controlled trial. Participants. Forty community-dwelling older adults with moderate low back pain or greater for at least the previous 3 months. Intervention. Participants were randomized to an 8-week meditation program or an 8-week education control program. Outcome Measures. Disability, Psychological Function, and pain severity were assessed. The same measures were obtained for both groups at baseline, at the end of the program, and 4 months after program completion. Results. Sixteen participants (80%) completed the meditation program and 19 (95%) completed the education program. Both the meditation and control group improved on measures of disability, pain, and Psychological Function, both at program completion and 4-month follow-up. The differences between the two groups did not reach statistical significance. The meditation group practiced mindfulness meditation a mean of 5 days/week (range 1–7) and mean of 31 minutes/session (range 22–48). At 4 months follow-up 14/16 (88%) participants continued to meditate. Conclusion. Both the intervention group and the education control group improved on outcome measures suggesting both programs had a beneficial effect. Participants continued to meditate on 4-month follow-up. The control program was feasible but not inert. Piloting the control program in mind–body research can inform the design of larger clinical trials.

  • co occurrence of dissociative identity disorder and borderline personality disorder
    Journal of Trauma & Dissociation, 2014
    Co-Authors: Colin A Ross, Lynn Ferrell, Elizabeth Schroeder
    Abstract:

    The literature indicates that, among individuals with borderline personality disorder, pathological dissociation correlates with a wide range of impairments and difficulties in Psychological Function. It also predicts a poorer response to dialectical behavior therapy for borderline personality disorder. We hypothesized that (a) dissociative identity disorder commonly co-occurs with borderline personality disorder and vice versa, and (b) individuals who meet criteria for both disorders have more comorbidity and trauma than individuals who meet criteria for only 1 disorder. We interviewed a sample of inpatients in a hospital trauma program using 3 measures of dissociation. The most symptomatic group was those participants who met criteria for both borderline personality disorder and dissociative identity disorder on the Dissociative Disorders Interview Schedule, followed by those who met criteria for dissociative identity disorder only, then those with borderline personality disorder only, and finally those...

  • Co-occurrence of dissociative identity disorder and borderline personality disorder.
    Journal of trauma & dissociation : the official journal of the International Society for the Study of Dissociation (ISSD), 2013
    Co-Authors: Colin A Ross, Lynn Ferrell, Elizabeth Schroeder
    Abstract:

    The literature indicates that, among individuals with borderline personality disorder, pathological dissociation correlates with a wide range of impairments and difficulties in Psychological Function. It also predicts a poorer response to dialectical behavior therapy for borderline personality disorder. We hypothesized that (a) dissociative identity disorder commonly co-occurs with borderline personality disorder and vice versa, and (b) individuals who meet criteria for both disorders have more comorbidity and trauma than individuals who meet criteria for only 1 disorder. We interviewed a sample of inpatients in a hospital trauma program using 3 measures of dissociation. The most symptomatic group was those participants who met criteria for both borderline personality disorder and dissociative identity disorder on the Dissociative Disorders Interview Schedule, followed by those who met criteria for dissociative identity disorder only, then those with borderline personality disorder only, and finally those with neither disorder. Greater attention should be paid to the relationship between borderline personality disorder and dissociative identity disorder.

  • Barriers to ego identity status formation: a contextual qualification of Marcia's identity status paradigm.
    Journal of adolescence, 2000
    Co-Authors: Amy E. Yoder
    Abstract:

    Abstract While many Psychological, sociological and educational researchers acknowledge that ego identity formation is a socially embedded process, others have found that identity research often focuses, almost exclusively, on internal Psychological development. The concept of “barriers” provides a means by which to describe external influences associated with adolescent and young adult ego identity exploration and commitment processes which affect and possibly limit individual developmental options. Based on Erikson's assumption that ego identity formation involves both personal growth and communal change, the barriers qualification expands upon Marica's identity status paradigm to more accurately reflect socio-cultural variables which may have impact upon individual internal Psychological Function.
