TAP Talk: Lifestyle and Chronic Pain: Using EAET and the BASIS-A to Address Migraines
This month’s TAP Talk features Dan Kaufmann and Susan Belangee discussing their recent collaborative work that connects the evidence-based EAET approach with the BASIS-A Inventory for clients struggling with migraines.
Summary - Alfred Adler identified that chronic pain is not solely a biomedical phenomenon, but rather a complex psychological experience situated within an individual’s lifestyle, belief system, early relational experiences, and striving for belonging and significance (Adler, 1956). Adler helped shift the understanding of chronic pain toward a holistic, goal-oriented, socially contextualized understanding of symptoms, which aligns closely with modern biopsychosocial pain models. This session offers the first glimpse of how EAET and lifestyle assessment, specifically using the BASIS-A Inventory, pinpoints psychological reservoirs that may be connected to and helpful for reducing migraines.
Learning Objectives:
Explain Adler’s concept of lifestyle within the overall holistic framework of Adlerian psychology
Describe the 3 BASIS-A scales and how they may be linked with migraine symptoms
Describe the EAET approach and similarities with lifestyle assessment in Adlerian psychotherapy
