physical and psychological aspects common to these disorders.
Attention is given to working-world concerns, including insurance
and compensation issues and AMA guidelines for disability
evaluations. Also, specialized chapters offer lenses for
understanding and administering the best approaches for treating
specific pain disorders, as well as explore what workplaces can do
to accommodate affected employees and prevent injuries from
occurring in the first place. Among the "Handbook"'s featured
