Group-based Emotional Awareness & Expression Therapy - Hebrew

This pilot study will use the eight-session group EAET manual developed by Mark A. Lumley and Howard Schubiner. Several adaptations to this manual were made: a) Manual's translation to the Hebrew language; b) Adaptations to the Israeli context and setting; c) Manual's language was changed from "fibromyalgia" to "chronic pain" and adaptations were made accordingly. Group participants will receive a class syllabus and an educational booklet of the EAET approach. Each group meeting will be led by two instructors, a psychologist and a physiotherapist.
