BEING IN PAIN - ABRAHAM OLIVIER KARTONIERT (TB)

What does it mean to be in pain? How should we deal with pain? The major trend today is an
attempt to offer a physiological explanation and treatment of pain. This book raises the
question as to how we can understand and treat pain on a physiological basis without
underrating or denying its psychological dimensions. As an answer to this question  the author
proposes a non-reductive physiological definition and subsequently treatment of pain that
account equally for physical and psychological factors. Drawing on a wide array of sources  the
author defines pain as a mode of bodily perception and then explores the therapeutic
consequences of this definition. The primary focus is philosophical  but it is an accessibly
written academic book  of relevance to a wide readership.
