title: [Psychosocial aspects of pain].
abstract: Though pain is a warning friend, it also is a life disturbing and hurting symptom. We need to consider psychological aspects of pain together with the physiological aspects, in order to be able to understand, to differentiate the etiology and to treat completely. In this review, we will discuss psychological aspects of pain patients, psychiatric patients who apply to pain clinics with pain symptoms, primarily psychological and psychiatric treatments of chronic pain patients.
