This book sets out to restore the concept of healing to its place
within and beyond pain medicine, in chapters authored by keynote
speakers to the British Pain Society's Philosophy and Ethics
Special Interest Group. Exploring psychological, spiritual and
creative approaches, contributors reflect on therapeutic avenues
ranging from the deliberate use of the placebo response and the
importance of a caring relationship between patient and
practitioner, to the use of knitting as a therapeutic tool.
Barriers to the flow of healing such as practitioners' careless use
of language and cultural attitudes are identified and contrasted
with the need to understand the first-person perspectives of people
who are suffering. This book will provide hope and inspiration both
to people who have become disillusioned with conventional medical
approaches to the relief of their pain, and to health professionals
sadly aware of the frequent inadequacy of their efforts to help
them.
