1 minute - individually
• In your initial assessment of a “typical” patient presenting with chronic pain
• What are your three main objectives?

Engel’s Model (summary)
• Biological changes in disease are not always reciprocated in illness
• Presence/absence of disease does not necessarily shed light on the meaning of symptoms
• Psychosocial determinants of illness are of fundamental importance in assessment and symptom expression
• The sick role/illness behaviour is not necessarily associated with disease
• Success (or failure) of biological treatments is influenced by psychosocial factors (&vice-versa)
• Dr/P relationship influences outcomes• Patients are profoundly influenced by the way in which
they are studied (&vice-versa)

Translation of the BPS model to clinical practice
• Relationship between mental/physical aspects of health
• Paying “lip service” to participatory relationship• Self-awareness• Cultivation of trust• Empathic curiosity• Recognising bias• Using informed intuition• Communicating clinical evidence

Clinical Formulation
• A map to help us understand the terrain of an individuals narrative
• An attempt to explain why a person is experiencing symptoms in a particular way at a particular point in time.
• Moving beyond description into explanation

Models and Reality
• Don’t mistake models for reality!

The Four P Model
• An attempt to provide an explanatory overview of a presenting problem / problems
• Not based in any one psychiatric / psychological model
• Evidence based
• Forces you to consider relevant factors
![Page 11: A model for assessment in chronic pain Dr Tayyeb Tahir Dr Scott Hall](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551bc3ec550346b9588b4c75/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Predisposing Factors
• Things that make the person vulnerable to developing the current presentation
• Examples could include:– Early trauma (e.g. abuse, bullying, parental
separation).– Physical health problems.– Family history of mental ill health.
• Think – What happened in the past?
![Page 12: A model for assessment in chronic pain Dr Tayyeb Tahir Dr Scott Hall](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551bc3ec550346b9588b4c75/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Precipitating Factors
• ‘The Final Straw”• Things that happened in the person’s life that
seemed to trigger an episode of illness • Examples could include
– a bereavement – loss of a job or – other significant life change.– drug use
• Think – What was the final straw?
![Page 13: A model for assessment in chronic pain Dr Tayyeb Tahir Dr Scott Hall](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551bc3ec550346b9588b4c75/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Perpetuating Factors
• Things that seem to be keeping the person in their current state of distress.
• Examples include – pervasive negative thinking. – lack of a close confiding relationship– lack of adherence to medication
• Think – Why are they not getting better?
![Page 14: A model for assessment in chronic pain Dr Tayyeb Tahir Dr Scott Hall](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551bc3ec550346b9588b4c75/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Protective Factors
• Things which seem to help keep the person well and which need to be strengthened in order to decrease the likelihood of the problem reoccurring
• Examples include – a strong relationship, – a particular skill in a specific area – a psychological feature such as a good sense of
humour
• Think – What are their strengths? What’s good in their life?

Iatrogenic Factors
• Iatrogenic factors relate to treatments that worsen the patient’s condition
• These are not part of the formulation but can have a massive impact on treatment.
• Tend to be associated with drug treatment but all treatments are potentially iatrogenic.

Putting it together: An integrative aetiological formulationNB : First we need a collaborative understanding of the presenting complaint!
