Description

Pain is often seen as a straightforward experience - you get hurt and it hurts. However, describing pain can be complex. Instead of focusing solely on its intensity, it's also about understanding the causes and how we respond to it. This book offers a new perspective on pain, exploring its complexities through in-depth interviews, historical investigation, and original research. It reveals why pain is not always bad and how our perceptions of it are shaped by history, science, and culture. By examining the stories of those who experience pain in different ways, the authors challenge common assumptions about pain. To build a healthier relationship with pain, we need to understand its nature, expression, and communication. This book aims to help us do just that, shedding light on how pain is made and how it can be remade.
