Abstract
Eighteen patients with chronic low back pain were interviewed before and after a programme of conservative treatment and again 4 months later. Measures were made of severity and attitude towards disability, including the Kelly Repertory Grid. The best predictor of improvement was the degree of meaningfulness of the concept 'self in pain' as measured by the Repertory Grid.Entities:
