Everyone experiences pain, whether it's emotional or physical,
chronic or acute. Pain is part of what it means to be human, and so
an understanding of how we relate to it as individuals - as well as
cultures and societies - is fundamental to who we are. In this
important new book, the first in Routledge's new Critical
Approaches to Health series, Robert Kugelmann provides an
accessible and insightful overview of how the concept of pain has
been understood historically, psychologically, and
anthropologically. Charting changes in how, after the development
of modern painkillers, pain became a problem that could be solved,
the book articulates how the possibilities for living with pain
have changed over the last two hundred years. Incorporating
research conducted by the author himself, the book provides both a
holistic conception of pain and an understanding of what it means
to people experiencing it today. Including critical reflections in
each chapter, Constructing Pain offers a comprehensive and
enlightening treatment of an important issue to us all and will be
fascinating reading for students and researchers within health
psychology, healthcare, and nursing.
