Abstract
This article updates earlier reviews of recurrent headache disorders published in 1982 and 1992, selectively reviewing research published since 1990. Current issues in assessment (headache diagnosis, psychophysiology, comorbid psychopathology, quality-of-life assessment, and new assessment technologies) and psychological treatment (efficacy, therapeutic mechanisms, treatment delivery, and integration with drug therapy) are addressed. The author emphasizes the need to adapt psychological treatments to the severity of the headache disorder and to developments in drug therapy. Opportunities for the integration of biological, medical, and psychological science are highlighted.Keywords
