Current theories of the etiology and maintenance of chronic pain emphasize its multidimensional nature. These theories take into account affective, cognitive, behavioral, social, and sensory aspects of the pain experience (Turk and Melzack, 1992; Wall and Melzack, 1984; QME Chronic Pain Management I: Concepts). These models of pain require a detailed assessment of the patient’s full range of functioning and pain experience (Turk and Melzack, 1992; QME Chronic Pain Management II: Evaluation and Treatment). Adequate assessment of this nature is important for understanding all aspects of the chronic pain patient’s suffering and to develop successful treatment programs (Turk, 1990). This type of assessment goes far beyond the traditional medical examination
