Abstract
There is always a psychological component to any illness or injury, and unless it is appropriately addressed, such factors can complicate or delay the recovery from a work-related illness or injury. When a worker experiences delayed recovery and unexpected disability, significant contributing psychosocial factors must be assessed for and managed appropriately. A maladaptive belief or understanding about the condition and disability by a patient presents an obstacle to successful treatment. Using cognitive behavioral therapy techniques may be an effective means of managing this challenge for the clinician.
