This topical review outlines the resilience pathway to adaptive functioning in pediatric pain within a developmental perspective. Self-Determination Theory proposes that the satisfaction of one's basic psychological needs (for autonomy, relatedness, and competence) is crucial for understanding human flourishing and healthy development. However, the role of the basic psychological needs received little attention in a pediatric-pain population. Yet, we propose that need satisfaction may be a resilience factor and need frustration a risk factor, for living with chronic pain. In this topical review, we first discuss two major models that have been developed to understand pain-related disability: the fear-avoidance model of pain and the ecological resilience-risk model in pediatric chronic pain. Both models have been used with children and adolescents but do not include a developmental perspective. Therefore, we introduce Self-Determination Theory and highlight the potentially moderating and mediating role of the basic needs on pain-related disability in children and adolescents. Taken together, we believe that Self-Determination Theory is compatible with the fear-avoidance model of pain and the ecological resilience-risk model in pediatric chronic pain and may deepen our understanding of why some adolescents are able to live adaptively in spite of chronic pain.

KEYWORDS Chronic pain; Children and adolescent; PsychotherapySummary Chronic pain in children and adolescents may have a significant psychological and social impact. In the last twenty years, research related to pain and its treatment received increased attention. Nowadays, many relevant therapeutic interventions are available. However, psychologists and medical practitioners are not always aware of the existing empirical supported literature. This paper aims at giving a survey on documented effective psychological interventions on pediatric pain. On the whole, we can say that behavior and cognitive therapy, biofeedback, relaxation and hypnosis are particularly relevant. They reduce the intensity of pain, frequency of symptoms and minimize the related outcomes. Further benefits include improvements in quality of life for children and relatives. These interventions have to be integrated in the classical medical practice within a biopsychosocial approach. This implies a collaborative work between psychologists and medical practitioners.
