Pain management is a growing area of interest for many health care professionals. This book examines the area, dealing specifically with the management of potentially chronic pain. It examines how to assess patients with pain, the factors involved in the development of chronic pain, and the setting up and running of a pain management program. The authors have focused both on what is done in the management of pain and whether and why it is done, covering not only the content of interdisciplinary pain management, but also the processes involved. An essential reference for all health professionals involved in all aspects of pain management.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"It is my view that this book is essential to all those working with patients who report pain and have pain related physical incapacity.... For those who are setting up a pain management programme or who already have, the book is essential. I would like to commend the editors and authors and cannot recommend it more highly to all physiotherapists and physiotherapy educators.
Buy two and give one to your tutor!" Louis Gifford, Chartered Physiotherapist
