Pain relief medications provide tremendous benefits for patients and clients in clinical care. However, the huge societal problems we face with opioid addiction, as well as other considerations including drug contraindications and allergic reactions, demonstrate the obvious need for pain relief without drugs. Empirical neuroimaging support for relaxation-based relief processes is extremely strong. Competent professional use of these techniques in clinical settings requires a solid understanding of how these processes operate, and the development of the skill necessary for real-world use with clients and patients in clinical practice. Relaxation based pain relief processes have been recommended by the National Institutes of Health since 1995. In addressing the opioid crisis both the American College of Physicians and the US Department of Health and Human services have issued empirically-based clinical recommendations for the use of these types of processes as standard of care nonpharmacological pain relief. This manual provides the training necessary to relieve pain quickly, efficiently, and effectively in medical and mental health treatment settings.
