This valuable book addresses two key dilemmas. First, chronic pain is always more than a signal of tissue damage, which is why standard biomedical approaches fail. Second, multidisciplinary treatments (focused on a narrow band of the cognitive-behavioural spectrum) are not multidisciplinary enough.

It holds important resources for physicians, therapists, patients, family members, and anyone seeking a better way. -- David B. Morris, author of The Culture of Pain, Illness and Culture in the Postmodern Age and Eros and Illness. He has lectured and written on pain for a variety of professional audiences and retired from the University of Virginia as University Professor
