Behavioral Therapy (BT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for CLBP are terms for psychological interventions that often get applied inter-changeably in the CLBP literature. Therapies based upon these principles seek to help the patient with pain reduce symptom intensity, regain functioning, and reduce suffering. Many techniques get incorporated into this form of therapy and rarely are single components applied in actual practice. Techniques can include time-contingent pacing, spouse involvement and reinforcement of adaptive responding, use of quotas and goals for gradual return of functioning, reframing of affective and cognitive responses, learning of coping skills, and learning of the relaxation response (e.g. progressive muscle relaxation, biofeedback). In order to better learn and integrate skills into one’s life style, CBT relies upon self-monitoring, skill rehearsal, and social reinforcement. CBT for CLBP is most often administered either individually or in small groups over 8-12 sessions and is often incorporated into a broader medical and/or physical therapeutic program.
