This comprehensive revision of the invaluable reference presents a
rigorous survey of pain and palliative care phenomena across the
lifespan and across disciplines. Grounded in the biopsychosocial
viewpoint of its predecessor, it offers up-to-date understanding of
assessments and interventions for pain, the communication of pain,
common pain conditions and their mechanisms, and research and
policy issues. In keeping with the current public attention to
painkiller use and misuse, contributors discuss a full range of
pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches to pain relief
and management. And palliative care is given expanded coverage,
with chapters on interventive, ethical, and spiritual concerns. *
Pain, intercultural communication, and narrative medicine. *
Assessment of pain: tools, challenges, and special populations. *
Persistent pain in the older adult: practical considerations for
evaluation and management. * Acute to chronic pain: transition in
the post-surgical patient. * Evidence-based pharmacotherapy of
chronic pain. * Complementary and integrative health in chronic
pain and palliative care. * The patient's perspective of chronic
pain.* Disparities in pain and pain care. This mix of evolving and
emerging topics makes the Second Edition of the Handbook of Pain
and Palliative Care a necessity for health practitioners
specializing in pain management or palliative care, clinical and
health psychologists, public health professionals, and clinicians
and administrators in long-term care and hospice.
