This is a revised and expanded edition with three new chapters and a new preface summarizing the progress in the area of pain management. In addition, the argument will appeal to psychologists and psychiatrists interested in the nature of pain and suffering.

Trade Review
[The author's] position is humane and compassionate and willing to address that which scares many clinicians - uncertainty and imperfection. I highly recommend this thorough and thoughtful book to anyone who grapples with the problem of human suffering in the midst of illness. * Palliative Medicine, 18 *
Cassell's arguments and discussions are clear and logical and his style makes it a pleasure to read. It is also clinically practical, with many case histories used to introduce and illustrate the discussion. Highly recommended. * IAHPC Website *
