This is the first book tackling the topic of world suffering. It
compiles in one place the ideas, perspectives, and findings of
researchers from around the world who pioneered research-based
understanding of human suffering. Some chapters use the paradigm of
‘quality of life’ to explore ways to enhance knowledge on
suffering. Other chapters show how concepts and knowledge
from suffering research can benefit studies on quality of life. By
bringing together in one volume, ideas and research experience from
the best minds and leading researchers in the fields of pain,
suffering, poverty, deprivation, disability and quality of life
(including well-being and happiness), this volume advances social
science solutions to a number of major threads of research, most
notably suffering. As a whole, the volume advances the fields of
suffering and deprivation by suggesting a working typology of
suffering and by pointing out the major paradigms for relief of
suffering, such as humanitarianism, human rights, caring, and
healing. This volume provides a wealth of insights about the
interaction between suffering and quality of life, the most
up-to-date characterization of worldwide suffering, and a grasp of
the implications of these data for local and global policy on
health and social well-being.
