Chronic pain is a medical mystery, debilitating to patients and a
source of frustration for practitioners. It often eludes both cause
and cure and serves as a reminder of how much further we have to go
in unlocking the secrets of the body. A new field of pain medicine
has evolved from this landscape, one that intersects with dozens of
disciplines and subspecialties ranging from psychology and
physiology to anesthesia and chiropractic medicine. Over the past
three decades, researchers, policy makers, and practitioners have
struggled to define this complex and often contentious field as
they work to establish standards while navigating some of the most
challenging philosophical issues of Western science. In The
Politics of Pain Medicine: A Rhetorical-Ontological Inquiry, S.
Scott Graham offers a rich and detailed exploration of the medical
rhetoric surrounding pain medicine. Graham chronicles the work of
interdisciplinary pain management specialists to found a new
science of pain and a new approach to pain medicine grounded in a
more comprehensive biospychosocial model. His insightful analysis
demonstrates how these materials ultimately shape the healthcare
community's understanding of what pain medicine is, how the
medicine should be practiced and regulated, and how
practitioner-patient relationships are best managed. It is a
fascinating, novel examination of one of the most vexing issues in
contemporary medicine.
