Abstract

The "winning" variables identified in the integrated model are dominated by cognitions, which are accompanied by disability behaviors. A cognitive-behavioral model with an adaptation-oriented rather than a pathology-oriented focus is favored for early intervention with high-risk workers since cognitions are amenable to change.
