The Pain Chronicles

Suggested book (December)

The Pain Chronicles: Cures, Myths, Mysteries, Prayers, Diaries, Brain Scans, Healing, and the Science of Suffering

Conversations about chronic pain can be challenging. There is not much scope for optimistic problem solving and the limits of mainstream medicine are quickly reached. Psychological flexibility is needed for both parties involved in pain dialogues. Melanie Thernstrom’s The Pain Chronicles provide comprehensive material to turn what otherwise may end in mutual anger and frustration into a shared exploration of all concepts involved in the experience of pain.
