Abstract
Pain is a complex experience, shaped by biological, psychological and social factors. Due to its complexity and subjective component, chronic pain has been the target of psychological research and interventions aimed at promoting mental health, adaptation and the development of coping skills. This paper seeks to explore the interrelationship between neuropsychology, pain and cognitive rehabilitation in individuals experiencing chronic pain. Beyond its impact on daily functioning and mental health, chronic pain can impair attention, memory and executive functions. Consequently, it is necessary for psychologists to adopt a professional approach that goes beyond the subjective understanding of pain. Professionals need to expand their focus in order to better understand the processing of this experience. In addition to the foundational principles of validation and acceptance, which are typical stages of psychotherapy, psychologists working with patients with chronic pain must deepen their practice in pain education and cognitive rehabilitation. Keywords: Chronic pain, neuropsychology, psychological support, rehabilitation in chronic pain, cognitive rehabilitation
