Pain syndromes involve a complex interaction of medical and
psychological factors. In each syndrome unique physiological
mechanisms are mediated by emotional states, personality traits,
and environmental pressures to determine the nature and extent of
pain complaints and pain-related disability. The Handbook addresses
the complexities of chronic pain in three ways. Section I describes
general concerns that cross-cut the different syndromes, such as
the use of narcotic pain medications, the detection of deception
and malingering, and the epidemiology of pain. Section II presents
comprehensive reviews of a wide range of pain syndromes. Each
covers basic pathophysiology, psychological factors found to
influence the course of the syndrome, and syndrome-specific
multidisciplinary treatment approaches. Most of the Section II
chapters are coauthored by psychologists and physicians. Section
III discusses pain in special populations, including the elderly
and children. The Handbook is the most up-to-date, comprehensive,
and integrated single-volume resource for all those professionally
concerned with pain.
