Wise, M.D., Professor of Psychiatry, The Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland Psychiatrists are confronted with pain in many of their patients, often as the chief complaint, including headache, back pain, fibromyalgia, and chronic pelvic pain. This book combines a superb comprehensive yet concise, up-to-date review of pain--its definitions, classification, principles of assessment, and pharmacological and nonpharmocological treatment--with a critical analysis of models of psychogenic pain. But there's more: a multidisciplinary panel of expert clinicians provides lively commentary on detailed case histories of challenging patients with pain and psychopathology. -- James L. Levenson, M.D., Professor of Psychiatry, Medicine, and Surgery, Chairman, Division of Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry, Vice-Chair, Department of Psychiatry, Medical College of Virginia/Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, Virginia
