The Balance Between Biological and Psychosocial Factors in Chronic Pain Diagnoses
This chapter explores the challenge of striking a balance between the biological and psychosocial aspects of chronic pain diagnoses, using functional movement disorder (FMD) as an example. It discusses the potential impact of better coping and reduced suffering on pain perception and intensity, although the actual outcomes are unclear. The chapter also highlights the dangers of oversimplifying progressive and graded exposure to load in rehabilitation, and the importance of approaching complex topics and biases with uncertainty and open-mindedness.
