Chronic and persistent pain, which is a problem for the individual
who suffers and the society that has to deal with it, has become
increasingly appreciated. Over the last three decades, several
books and journals have been specifically devoted to the topic of
pain, especially chronic and persistent pain. It has been
increasingly recognized that chronic and persistent pain, unlike
acute pain, involves significant psychosocial factors and requires
treatment strategies that deal with these issues. All measurements
and factors that affect improvement seem to be in the psychosocial
area rather than the medical/ biological/physical areas.
Psychosocial conveys the importance of the environmental and
interpersonal factors of the patient's functioning. The writing of
this book has brought together some of the leading researchers and
clinicians in the area of managing the patient with chronic pain.
The authors express their opinions based on experience and review
of the literature available to date. Each of the chapters focuses
on an important element of the assessment and/or treatment
intervention utilized for the individual with chronic pain. The
concluding chapter summarizes the status of the assessment and
treatment strategies for those patients.
This book explores how physical education (PE) can be best enacted
in primary schools in order to optimise children's wellbeing.
Drawing together extensive data from school communities around the
globe, the author examines multiple dimensions of child health in
practice. Ultimately, the findings suggest that PE is imperative
within the wider landscape of children's holistic learning,
offering a powerful platform for meaningful connections across
learning areas. While quantitative research has long evidenced the
benefits of physical activity, this book contributes to the complex
and global issue of what effective health and wellbeing approaches
look like in practice. It is natural for children to enjoy movement
for the purposes of play, exploration, learning and development:
this book is essential reading for educators looking to enhance
children's wellbeing and general health.
This book uses the example of a partnership journey between
universities, schools, the local health industry as well as a
number of government organisations which worked to ensure the
growth of physical education in primary education. The initiative
employed the United Nations (UN) ideals as a model and
contextualised them within local schools and communities. What
began as a pathway seed quickly grew to involve multi-stakeholder
partnerships and therefore explores how the UN Sustainable
Development Goals (SDG) may be implemented at a grass roots level.

Allegations that an extremely severe form of sexual and physical
child abuse perpetrated by Satanists or the devotees of comparably
unorthodox religions were first made in North America in the 1970s
and early 1980s. They were subsequently made in Britain, Holland,
Australia and New Zealand. 'Satan's Empire' is an examination of
the bitter debates that these claims provoked in Australia and
elsewhere, including the dispute about whether ritual abuse 'really
happens'. Timothy Lynch provides some anthropological insights into
why these strange and incredible claims were made and why they were
accepted by certain therapists, officials, journalists and members
of the public. He compares allegations of ritual abuse to the
accusations made against 'witches' in early modern Europe and in
non-Western societies, and examines the similarities between the
kinds of people typically accused of perpetrating ritual abuse and
those accused of practising witchcraft. Lynch also shows how, at a
time when Australians had become very sceptical about claims of
ritual abuse, activists were able to incite and affect the latest
of a succession of homophobic panics in Australia.
