Abstract
Using DSM-III, the authors reviewed the psychiatric diagnoses of 43 patients evaluated over a 1-year period by a university medical center pain board and found that 98% of the patients had an axis I disorder and 37% had an axis II disorder. The findings are discussed in relationship to earlier findings and treatment implications.Keywords
