Opis

Drawing together current research by physiotherapists, physicians and psychologists, Moving in on Pain is a collection of papers presented at the landmark 'Moving in on Pain' conference held in Adelaide in April 1995. As the first international multidisciplinary gathering addressing exclusively the issue of pain organized by physiotherapists, the conference has, through presentations and workshops, served as a unique update in pain management, and includes contributions from such as Emeritus Professor Patrick Wall (University of London), Professor Michael Cousins (Royal North Shore Hospital and Sydney University) and Associate Professor George Mendelson (Caulfield General Medical Centre and Monash University). The selected papers and the commentary on the 'Images of Pain' art exhibition together form a benchmark of the state of contemporary pain research and thinking, and is an invaluable read for any health professional dealing with pain and its treatment.

Recenzje

'Overall the book is excellent value and the most up to date source in our quest for knowledge of pain sciences and its applications to clinical practice. This is an essential addition to any physiotherapy department.'Susan Godfrey
