THE JOURNAL OF PAIN, November 2015

ON THE COVER Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) aims to increase the behavioral flexibility of individuals facing painful situations. Pain acceptance is the willingness to experience pain while engaging in valued activities. It is often measured using the Chronic Pain Acceptance Questionnaire. Previous analyses identified three patient clusters which differed across measures of patient functioning in meaningful ways. In this issue, Rovner et al present clustering using Latent Class Analysis. This cover image, a collaborative piece between ACT psychologist and artist Rikke Kjelgaard and author Graciela Rovner, is metaphorically related to ACT. See Rovner et al, Page 1095.
