Abstract

The development and assessment, over a 10-year period, of a technology for group treatment of patients with chronic pain and anxiety is described. Positive results, such as a decrease of symptoms and improved self-confidence, have stimulated diffusion of the technology to colleagues and have increased our own involvement in the organization of services.
