Review

"It is my view that this book is essential to all those working with patients who report pain and have pain related physical incapacity.... For those who are setting up a pain management programme or who already have, the book is essential. I would like to commend the editors and authors and cannot recommend it more highly to all physiotherapists and physiotherapy educators.
Buy two and give one to your tutor!" Louis Gifford, Chartered Physiotherapist
