Investigating Habituation to Premonitory Urges in Behavior Therapy for Tic Disorders [PDF]
, 2017 Behavior therapy is effective for Persistent Tic Disorders (PTDs), but behavioral processes facilitating tic reduction are not well understood. One process, habituation, is thought to create tic reduction through decreases in premonitory urge severity ...

From acute to chronic pain: tapentadol in the progressive stages of this disease entity [PDF]
, 2017 OBJECTIVE: Chronic pain is now recognized as a neural disease, which results from a maladaptive functional and structural transformation process occurring over time. In its chronic phase, pain is not just a symptom but also a disease entity.

Body image and the visceral dimension [PDF]
, 2008 In this paper, we look at what happens to the concept of body image when it is acknowledged that the level of proprioception is just one bodily dimension in the core constitution of the body image.
