BEHAVIORAL

PATH-Pain

The goals of PATH-Pain are to: 1) Teach problem solving skills to reduce negative emotions, by using emotion regulation and problem- solving strategies to overcome these difficulties. 2) Use compensatory strategies and environmental adaptation tools (notes, checklists, calendars, etc.) to avoid limitations resulting from memory problems, help improve emotion regulation, and create an easier environment to live in. If found helpful and participant agrees, a tablet application called WellPATH will be used to help the subject with emotion regulation techniques. The tablet will be given at the beginning of treatment and will be returned at the end of treatment. 3) Invite caregiver participation, when appropriate. Subjects in the PATH-PAIN group will receive 8 weekly sessions (first 8 weeks) with a study therapist and 6 monthly phone sessions (3 individual and 3 group) for 9-36 weeks. Each session will last approximately 50 minutes.
