Abstract

Abstract: Psychological flexibility is the core of acceptance and commitment therapy （ACT）.This article reviews the origin，concept，theoretical framework，and assessment tools of psychological flexibility，and the impact factors and main interventions for psychological flexibility in chronic pain patients.It is recognized that the future research is to explore the concept of psychological flexibility for Chinese patients and to develop a Chinese version of Psychological Inflexibility in Pain Scale （PIPS）.Furthermore，targeted interventions for such patients with psychological inflexibility need to be formulated on the basis of the results of qualitative interviews regarding mental and emotional experiences.

Key words: Chronic pain, Psychological （in）flexibility, Acceptance and commitment therapy

摘要： 心理灵活性是接纳与承诺疗法（ACT）的核心，本文对心理灵活性的来源及概念、理论框架、慢性疼痛患者心理灵活性的评估工具、影响因素和主要干预方法等进行综述，认识到接下来的研究方向就是探索出适用于我国患者的心理灵活性的概念，汉化特异性慢性疼痛患者心理灵活性评估量表，并对慢性疼痛心理僵化患者进行质性访谈，了解其心理情感体验，根据研究结果制定特异性干预方案。

关键词: 慢性疼痛, 心理灵活性, 接纳与承诺疗法
