Book Description 2nd ed. Paperback small octavo, good condition, figures, pages lightly toned, edges slightly foxed (top edge moderately), some edgewear, sticker mark front cover. 170 pp. English psychiatrist Asenath Petrie argues, based on experimental evidence, that individual variation in the experience of pain is more than just cultural expression and self-control. Rather individuals differ in their tolerance of the total sensory environment. Some people are reducers (they tend to reduce the pain they perceive) and others are augmenters (they tend to increase the pain they perceive). This theory is tested on alcoholics, juvenile delinquents and schizophrenics. Seller Inventory # 18006
