The vale of pain, the veil of pain : pain as metaphor -- The spell of surgical sleep : pain as history -- Terrible alchemy : pain as disease -- Finding a voice : pain as narrative -- To cure the mind : pain as perception.
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.
