Opis produktu

Pain is the most frequent cause of disability in America. And pain specialists estimate that as many as thirty to sixty million Americans suffer from chronic pain. Chronic pain is a complex phenomenon&mdash:often extremely difficult to treat and surprisingly difficult to define./Just as medical literature in general neglects the experience of illness so the clinical literature on pain neglects the experience of pain. Camp Pain/ takes an approach different from most studies of chronic pain which are typically written from a medical or social perspective. Based on a years fieldwork in a pain treatment center this book focuses on patients perspectives&mdash:on their experiences of pain what these experiences mean to them and how this meaning is socially constructed. /Jackson explores the psychological burden imposed on many sufferers when they are judged not to have real pain and by harsh moral judgments that sufferers are weak malingering or responsible in some way for their pain. Jackson also looks at the ways in which severe pain erodes and destroys personal identity studying in particular the role of language./While keeping her focus on patients experiences Jackson explores Western concepts of disease health mind and body: assumptions about cause and effect: and notions of shame guilt and stigma. Camp Pain/ does not attempt to resolve the uncertainties and misperceptions associated with pain but rather aims at enhancing our understanding of the wider implications of chronic pain by focusing on the sufferers themselves./Based on fieldwork in a pain treatment center Camp Pain/ focuses on patients perspectives&mdash:on their experiences of pain and what these experiences mean to them./An unusual and fascinating book.&mdash:Choice//Jean E. Jackson is Professor of Anthropology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She is the author of The Fish People: Linguistic Exogamy and Tukanoan Identity in Northwest Amazonia.
