| Description | The multidisciplinary evaluation and treatment approach is widely practiced today and considered to be the standard of care. The psychological evaluation and assessment of chronic pain patients has evolved from one-dimensional to multidimensional models and the utility of the approaches has increased exponentially. The clinical interview is ideally suited to review the patient's pain complaints. This initial focus on pain helps establish rapport by focusing the agenda of the interview on pain and may allay the fears and defensiveness that pain patients have about seeing a mental-health professional. The Beck Depression Inventory is one of the most widely used tests with chronic pain patients because it is a relatively quick measure of depression, a mood state closely interlinked with chronic pain. The most prevalent psychological characteristic of chronic pain patients is depression. The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, one of the most widely used and researched tests of all time, is used quite extensively with chronic pain patients.
