Ken Garoo hurt his back at work 2 years ago, and since then, he has experienced periods where he could not work due to low-back pain. Worker’s compensation has helped financially during those times, but his wife has been burdened by having to do his chores and caring for him when he is incapacitated. His physician is reluctant to prescribe more opiate analgesics and would like to see him get into a program that would help alleviate his pain. After reviewing the options, what behavioral and/or cognitive program would you recommend for Ken? Why?
