Listen to my interview with Dr. James Alexander on the Hidden Psychology of Pain!https://depthpsychologyalliance.com/forum/topics/got-chronic-pain-listen-to-my-interview-with-dr-james-alexander2013-03-07T18:16:46.000Z2013-03-07T18:16:46.000ZDavid Van Nuyshttps://depthpsychologyalliance.com/members/DavidVanNuys<div><p>Australian psychologist, Dr. James Alexander is author of the 2012 book, The Hidden Psychology of Pain.</p>
<p>By way of biographical statement, Dr. Alexander writes: “I became a psychologist after the harrowing experience of being nearly killed in a car accident as an 18 year old, when my VW Kombi van was hit by a drunk in a head on car accident, the van collapsed in on my legs and trapped me in a badly injured state for the next 2 1/2 hours before being freed. In addition to being very physically damaged, I was emotionally traumatized by the experience. When I began to physically recover, I found a collection of pop-psychology self help books in my fathers book shelf, and my psychological recovery began. Within the year, I decided I wanted to become a psychologist so as to help other people that had been similarly traumatized. This was 30 years ago, and for the last 25 years, I have been providing psychological services to a broad range of people in hospital settings, pain management clinics, rehabilitation services, and for the last 10 years, in private practice in NSW, Australia. I have a PhD in clinical health psychology, and because of my interest in mind/body health issues from this, as well as resulting from the chronic pain which I experienced for 18 years following my accident, I have chosen to specialize in the psychological treatment of chronic pain and psychological trauma. Whilst open to a range of approaches, I am these days primarily an EMDR practitioner. Ironically, this approach has opened me up to depth-psychology approaches as well. I am a founding Fellow and current Board member of the Australian Association of Psychologists.” </p>
