Download or read book The Myth of Pain written by Valerie Gray Hardcastle and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Valerie Gray Hardcastle argues that both professional and lay definitions of pain are wrongheaded -- with consequences for how pain and pain patients are treated, how psychological disorders are understood, and how clinicians define the mind/body relationship. Pain, although very common, is little understood. Worse still, according to Valerie Gray Hardcastle, both professional and lay definitions of pain are wrongheaded -- with consequences for how pain and pain patients are treated, how psychological disorders are understood, and how clinicians define the mind/body relationship. Hardcastle offers a biologically based complex theory of pain processing, inhibition, and sensation and then uses this theory to make several arguments: (1) psychogenic pains do not exist; (2) a general lack of knowledge about fundamental brain function prevents us from distinguishing between mental and physical causes, although the distinction remains useful; (3) most pain talk should be eliminated from both the folk and academic communities; and (4) such a biological approach is useful generally for explaining disorders in pain processing. She shows how her analysis of pain can serve as a model for the analysis of other psychological disorders and suggests that her project be taken as a model for the philosophical analysis of disorders in psychology, psychiatry, and neuroscience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each of us will know physical pain in our lives, but none of us knows when it will come or how long it will stay. Today as much as 10 percent of the population of the United States suffers from chronic pain. It is more widespread, misdiagnosed, and undertreated than any major disease. While recent research has shown that pain produces pathological changes to the brain and spinal cord, many doctors and patients still labor under misguided cultural notions and outdated scientific dogmas that prevent proper treatment, to devastating effect. In The Pain Chronicles, a singular and deeply humane work, Melanie Thernstrom traces conceptions of pain throughout the ages—from ancient Babylonian pain-banishing spells to modern brain imaging—to reveal the elusive, mysterious nature of pain itself. Interweaving first-person reflections on her own battle with chronic pain, incisive reportage from leading-edge pain clinics and medical research, and insights from a wide range of disciplines—science, history, religion, philosophy, anthropology, literature, and art—Thernstrom shows that when dealing with pain we are neither as advanced as we imagine nor as helpless as we may fear. Both a personal meditation and an intellectual exploration, The Pain Chronicles illuminates and makes sense of the all-too-human experience of pain—and confronts with extraordinary grace and empathy its peculiar traits, its harrowing effects, and its various antidotes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most common medical problem in America today, chronic pain is more prevalent than cancer, heart disease, and diabetes combined.

Internationally recognized pain specialist Dr. Lynn Webster validates the debilitating nature of pain, offers practical answers, and helps you become a catalyst for changing the way pain is viewed in society. Drawing on his years of experience and the inspirational stories of others, he explores: - What a difference it makes to be heard - Why pain is much more than a symptom of disease - The benefits and risks of opioid prescriptions - How cultural attitudes toward pain affect us - The role of a caregiver in the journey of pain and recovery - How, even in the worst pain situations, you can have a fulfilling life The Painful Truth offers a path toward awareness, hope, and healing.

Book excerpt: It's all in your head. "Learn to bear it." "That drug will make you a junkie."For the more than 75 million Americans affected by chronic pain, these are fighting words.Despite extraordinary medical progress in recent years, millions of people, debilitated by the pain of incurable cancer, crippling arthritis, unremitting headaches, and a host of degenerative disorders, continue to suffer needlessly. Here, in their own words, are the stories of more than forty people whose lives are dictated by pain-patients, healthcare professionals, ethicists, social commentators, and scientists-shining a powerful searchlight on America's most misunderstood health problem.The Truth About Chronic Pain reveals why pain is so often ignored or under-treated. Among the reasons are the widespread belief that pain is a sign of weakness and the unfounded fears that properly administered painkillers will cause addiction. As bureaucrats, doctors, and pharmacists become adversaries in the War on Drugs, people in pain are often denied the relief they need.The voices on these pages are an eloquent testament to individual courage and a powerful plea to medical institutions, political leaders, and insurance companies to implement effective solutions to the problem of pain.

This book was released on 2017-05-31 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 International Best Seller in Pain Management and Health, Fitness & Dieting Categories Back pain is now the #1 cause of disability worldwide; this is ironic, because the mystery was solved in the 1970s by Dr. John Sarno at the New York University Medical Center. Tragically, few sufferers accepted his solution. Despite possessing the most advanced healing techniques in history, the problem has grown into the main cause of global disability because the focus has been on treating the spine: a failed model for healing. Back Pain Permanent Healing examines why people are having trouble healing, why they refuse to accept healing, and why back pain has become epidemic. Through deeper understanding of the myths, lies, and confusion healing occurs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chronic pain is the leading cause of disability in the United States, affecting as many as 48 million people in this country alone. It can demoralize and depress both patient and family, especially when there is no effective pain control and no hope for relief. Improperly managed, chronic pain can lead to substance abuse (usually painkillers) and to acute psychological and emotional distress. Pain begets stress and stress begets pain in a wretched downward spiral. Silver reviews the causes and characteristics of chronic pain and explores its impact on individual family relationships and on the extended family, covering such issues as employment, parenting, childbearing and inheritance, and emotional health. Silver treats aspects of chronic pain not covered in a typical office visit: how men and women differ in their experience of chronic pain, the effect of chronic pain on a toddler's behavior or an older child's performance in school, the risks of dependence on and addiction to pain medications, and practical ways for relatives beyond the immediate family circle to offer help and support to the person in pain.

More than one and a half billion people suffering from chronic pain don't have to. Chronic pain affects more people than cancer, diabetes and heart disease combined and most doctors still don't understand the cause. Finally, here is a book that identifies the causes of chronic pain and explains how to prevent and treat it in a way anyone can understand. When you are finished reading, you will have the knowledge and tools to successfully have a discussion with your doctor. This is not about pain management. It is about resolving and preventing chronic pain. You'll learn the popular myth and startling truth about fibromyalgia, why carpal tunnel syndrome is a misdiagnosis for most people, the real problem and the cure, sixty-eight joint healthy foods, and nine simple at-home joint-saving exercises complete with diagrams. Author BIO Dr. Charschan lives and practices in central New Jersey. He has treated thousands of patients of all ages, including professional celebrity athletes. He is the medical director of USA Track and Field New Jersey, maintains a popular blog addressing health care issues and plays a mean guitar for his New Jersey band, "Midlife Crisis." Professional reviews "There is no doubt in my mind (after over forty years of research and clinical pracitice) that function follows form. More specifically, the form of the foot (in many cases) will determine how the body will function. Your expertly written book and your clinical experience are confirmations of that paradigm." -Professor Brian Rothbart DPM, www.curingchronicpain.com "Dr. Charschan challenges both patients and doctors to think "out of the box." He stresses the overlooked concept that patients should seek out doctors of "function" rather than doctors of "symptoms" and educates the patient to pick a doctor who knows enough to examine for dysfunction instead of relying on an x-ray or MRI to make a diagnosis." -Warren I.

Book excerpt: The instant New York Times bestseller By the acclaimed author of In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts, a groundbreaking investigation into the causes of illness, a bracing critique of how our society breeds disease, and a pathway to health and healing. In this revolutionary book, renowned physician Gabor Maté eloquently dissects how in Western countries that pride themselves on their healthcare systems, chronic illness and general ill health are on the rise. Nearly 70 percent of Americans are on at least one prescription drug; more than half take two. In Canada, every fifth person has high blood pressure. In Europe, hypertension is diagnosed in more than 30 percent of the population. And everywhere, adolescent mental illness is on the rise. So what is really “normal” when it comes to health? Over four decades of clinical experience, Maté has come to recognize the prevailing understanding of “normal” as false, neglecting the roles that trauma and stress, and the pressures of modern-day living, exert on our bodies and our minds at the expense of good health. For all our expertise and technological sophistication, Western medicine often fails to treat the whole person, ignoring how today’s culture stresses the body, burdens the immune system, and undermines emotional balance. Now Maté brings his perspective to the great untangling of common myths about what makes us sick, connects the dots between the maladies of individuals and the declining soundness of society—and offers a compassionate guide for health and healing. Cowritten with his son Daniel, The Myth Of Normal is Maté’s most ambitious and urgent book yet.

Book excerpt: Chronic pain is a devastating, life-altering problem. It can affect every area of your life, from your sleep patterns to your relationships with your loved ones. It can easily lead you down a dark path towards depression and hopelessness. Using painful but genuine experiences, the author explores many of the struggles and difficulties encountered by people living with chronic illness and pain. Using Biblical characters and stories, the book explores subjects such as doubt, suffering, depression, addiction, heartbreak, and guilt, to name a few. Sometimes irreverent, but always honest, you will discover Christ-centered, Biblical principles for meaningful, successful living with chronic illness and pain. Each chapter has thought-provoking questions that can be used by an individual or a small group. In each chapter, he shares a portion of my testimony relating to a specific aspect of living with chronic illness and pain. The chapter then transitions into Biblical characters and stories that illustrate the problem that a specific emotion or feeling presents in the life of someone living with chronic illness and pain. Each chapter concludes with specific Biblical principles to improve the life of the sufferer. There are questions at the end of each chapter that prompt the reader to go into more depth on the chapter subject.
