This book explores how person-centred health care could be refined
to help persons alleviate pain-related distress and construct pain
as a potentially positive experience. Rethinking Pain in
Person-Centred Health Care is a fascinating contribution to the
multidisciplinary literature on person-centred health care, pain
and ethics. Traditionally, Western intellectual culture has
downplayed the intuitive and emotional, promoting instead rational,
natural-scientific perspectives. Applied to pain, an instrumental
approach promotes the immediate and effective relief of pain, due
to the widespread suffering and expense it can cause. However,
different persons experience pain in different ways and Buetow
moves beyond a commitment to eliminate pain to exploring how
benefits of pain could include creating and managing meaning from
pain. Rather than always looking to put pain behind them, persons
may flourish by moving around pain, through pain, into pain and
above pain. Buetow argues that this model depends on adopting a
person-centred approach to health care, focusing less on the
condition of pain and more on mobilizing the persons who present
with, and manage, pain. This book will be of interest to
professionals and academics/researchers in the fields of psychology
and psychiatry who have a special interest in people with
persistent pain conditions. It will also be an invaluable resource
for physiotherapists, chronic pain consultants in secondary care
and GPs.
