5.0 out of 5 stars Fighting Chronic Pain, January 5, 2005

By	Dr. Carl Edwin Lindgren (Oxford, MS) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

"Making Peace with Chronic Pain: A Whole-Life Strategy" by Dr. Marlene E. Hunter, M.D. is an excellent book on pain management. I have found it to be one of the best available. Dr. Hunter is a family physician in West Vancouver and past president of the Canadian Society of Clinical Hypnosis. She has written several other works in the field of medicine and hypnosis. This work offers intelligent information on how to deal with physical and psychological pain. Besides hypnosis, the author also discusses pain relief techniques and relaxation techniques.

Alas to be a scholarly work, the book is way too short and leaves the reader asking for more. Although out of print, her Self Hypnosis Tapes/Audio Cassette entitled Learn to Relax: Self Hypnosis & Subliminal Learning is an excellent addition. I met Dr. Hunter several years ago at a conference and was deeply impressed with her background and professional skills. This work should be a part of any chronic pain sufferer's library.

4.0 out of 5 stars From the overview to the personal, November 9, 2007

By	ceejay - See all my reviews

By all accounts, this is a well done book giving a good overview of the issues surrounding chronic pain as well as therapies and treatments useful for making a good adjustment to the chronically pained life.
I would like to recommend my book, A PAINED LIFE, a chronic pain journey as a good adjunct to Making Peace With Chronic Pain.A Pained Life
