Social Skills in Chronic Pain, Addiction, Intimate Partner Violence and Primary Care

Context: psychosocial competencies (CPS) are higher cognitive functions defined by the ability to interact with others by adopting appropriate and positive behavior. They are defined among three axes: emotional skills, cognitive skills and social skills.

Social skills provide the conditions for modulating and controlling emotions, improving individual and social skills, making appropriate decisions, and resisting social conflicts. Poor social skills are linked to psychological disorders and psychiatric disorders such as mood disorders. Dysfunctions in social skills in adults are linked to substance use and abuse, sensitivity to pain, control of violence, and being a victim of violence. The links are bidirectional: both causes and consequences.
