An examination of the two most radical dissociation syndromes of
the human pain experience-pain without painfulness and painfulness
without pain-and what they reveal about the complex nature of pain
and its sensory, cognitive, and behavioral components. In Feeling
Pain and Being in Pain, Nikola Grahek examines two of the most
radical dissociation syndromes to be found in human pain
experience: pain without painfulness and painfulness without pain.
Grahek shows that these two syndromes-the complete dissociation of
the sensory dimension of pain from its affective, cognitive, and
behavioral components, and its opposite, the dissociation of pain's
affective components from its sensory-discriminative components
(inconceivable to most of us but documented by ample clinical
evidence)-have much to teach us about the true nature and structure
of human pain experience. Grahek explains the crucial distinction
betweenfeeling pain and being in pain, defending it on both
conceptual and empirical grounds. He argues that the two
dissociative syndromes reveal the complexity of the human pain
experience: its major components, the role they play in overall
pain experience, the way they work together, and the basic neural
structures and mechanisms that subserve them. Feeling Pain and
Being in Pain does not offer another philosophical theory of pain
that conclusively supports or definitively refutes either
subjectivist or objectivist assumptions in the philosophy of mind.
Instead, Grahek calls for a less doctrinaire and more balanced
approach to the study of mind-brain phenomena.
