We're talking about a paradigm shift from the biopsychosocial model to what's being termed an enactive approach for the treatment of pain. Joining us is Dr. Peter Stilwell. He is a Canadian researcher and is on faculty at the School of Physical Medicine and Occupational Therapy at McGill University. In addition to being the Ronald Melzack Fellow in Pain Research, his current research projects involve conceptual and qualitative work on persistent pain and related suffering. In this episode, you'll learn all about the biopsychosocial model for pain, why the time is ripe to switch to an enactive approach toward pain, and how this new emerging approach can help you reconceptualize pain and provide more effective pain education. Without further ado, let's begin and meet Peter Stilwell, and learn all about an enactive approach toward the treatment of pain.
