Synopsis

Inspired by the experiences of his patients, as well as by his own encounter with a life-threatening heart disorder, Dr. Hinds explores the interrelation of mind, body and spirit and the crucial role of spirituality in breaking the cycle of pain and integrating it within a larger life. Using numerous case reports, Dr. Hinds offers hope to those suffering by demonstrating that chronic pain does not dictate a life of constant resignation. While the book explores the mechanism of the pain response in the body, it also defines different kinds of pain, and includes a groundbreaking chapter on the much-neglected area of emotional pain. An interactive section--containing self-test exercises and questions for reflection as well as suggestions for pain relief--follows each chapter.
