Review # 1 was written on 2012-09-11 00:00:00 Tero Vahlroos As a social worker who both treats and experiences chronic pain, I found Mailis-Gagnon's writing easy to relate to and also insightful. I learned things in this book that I've never heard discussed elsewhere. Furthermore, I found it easy to read.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-04-22 00:00:00 Chad B. (2003 edition- not as pictured above) Overall a fun read. I ordered it because it was referenced in one of Oliver Sack's books and I wanted to learn more about chronic pain that my sister suffers from. There is a wide range of topics, from use of opiods and medical marijuana to rituals that should cause pain to their participants and theories on why it does not. Most chapters start with a case study to introduce a topic. The book is provided in layman terms and some definitions are given more than once if presented in a different chapter. There is not a lot detail/scientific explanation as to why certain treatments work or why/how pain is occurring. The author's overarching theme is that effective pain management requires a holistic approach addressing the psychological and physical aspects of a person. The book was definitely interesting, but did not answer some of the detailed questions I was in search of.
