TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an in-depth, idiographic study of the experience of chronic benign pain sufferers going through a simple hypnotic pain management relaxation exercise and find that participants' conceptions of their chronic pain did not change but their beliefs and feelings about themselves did.
Abstract: This paper presents an in-depth, idiographic study of the experience of chronic benign pain sufferers going through a simple hypnotic pain management relaxation exercise. The objective of this study was not to evaluate the efficacy of the intervention but to explore the participant's experience of any change that might occur. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with patients before and after the exercise and the resultant transcripts subjected to interpretative phenomenological analysis. Two themes emerged in the analysis and are discussed here: “The fearfulness of pain” and “The containment of fear through a social connection.” The participants' conceptions of their chronic pain did not change but their beliefs and feelings about themselves did.

The importance or relevance of the relationship between patients and staff in ch...

TL;DR: Examination of sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of treatment completers and non-completers at a child and adolescent community mental health clinic suggests that mental health treatment is not readily provided to the most difficult to reach and most at-risk youth and their families.
Abstract: This study examined sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of treatment completers (N = 114) and non-completers (N = 136) at a child and adolescent community mental health clinic. Results indicated that children who completed treatment significantly differ from those who prematurely drop out of treatment. Non-completers presented with considerably more impairment in functioning and psychiatric symptoms, and their caregiver reported experiencing significantly more parenting stress and depressive symptoms. Results suggest that mental health treatment is not readily provided to the most difficult to reach and most at-risk youth and their families.
