Description

---

When a patient's suffering is not adequately managed by the best medical interventions available, the clinician may feel at a loss.

This book offers guidance from the field's most respected experts on the psychological assessment and treatment of pain, particularly with hypnosis. It covers both syndromes of special interest (cancer pain, recurrent pain syndromes, headache, burn patients, etc.) and special populations (children and the elderly).
