For example, studies by Burns Kubilis et al. (2003) [27] and Smeets et al. (2006) [28] found changes in catastrophizing to be a significant mediator of multidisciplinary pain treatment effects. Turner, Holtzman and Mancl (2011) [88] found that pre- to post-treatment changes in pain beliefs, catastrophizing and self-efficacy related to pain predicted outcomes at one year post-treatment. In one of the few pediatric pain studies to examine mediation processes in treatment, Wicksell et al. (2011) [58] found that pain impairment beliefs and reactivity but not self-efficacy or catastrophizing, significantly mediated outcomes of treatment for adolescents with chronic idiopathic pain. In addition, it would be useful to determine if professionals other than trained mental health therapists (e.g., nurses) could implement these strategies, and if strategies such as booster sessions or a longer intervention period would increase the intervention effect on outcomes.

See this news article and , for more details, an article I wrote for the Internet Newsletter for Lawyers. I was a member of the ODR Advisory Group appointed by the Civil Justice Council (CJC)  to advise the UK’s Ministry of Justice on the role of ODR in a modernised civil justice system. The Report by Lord Justice Briggs into the future structure of the court system  recommended our proposal in the CJC Report for an online court offering ODR solutions be actioned. The first online court has now opened and in public Beta testing for civil money claims. I am an accredited business mediator and negotiator specialising in the art of negotiating solutions as opposed to  burning money through the courts.

Child catastrophizing was measured using the Catastrophizing subscale of the Pain Response Inventory. The PRI is a 60-item questionnaire designed to assess children’s responses to pain [73]. It includes 13 subscales representing specific coping strategies such as problem solving, seeking social support, and stoicism.

I am  also a recognised expert in the fast developing field of  Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) which exploits the power of technology  and AI to facilitate resolution. As such I organised and co-hosted  the leading an oldest conference on the subject being the 25th annual International Forum on Online Dispute Resolution held in London on the 29th and 30th April 2025. When this occurs, the logic of efficient dispute resolution is likely to prevail. For Jameson, one of the biggest challenges as a mediator is persuading people to commit to a process, when they are already so committed to combat. He recognizes that when the process is done right, it will almost always have a better outcome for everyone.

Reductions in children’s catastrophic cognitions mediated reductions in child-reported GI symptom severity but no other outcomes. In general, change in parent threat perception was a more consistent and powerful mediator of outcomes than was change in child catastrophizing. Of note is that changes in parent perceptions of the threat posed by the child’s pain mediated changes in both parent and child-reported GI symptoms, as well as child-reported pain, suggesting that change in parental cognition may affect not only parent report of child GI symptoms but possibly also child self-report. deze website could be hypothesized that parents may communicate less concern or sense of threat when child symptoms occur after the SLCBT treatment, lessening child concern or sense of threat.
