An essential reference for all health professionals involved in all aspects of pain management. Features: * Provides extensive background material and covers broad issues which other books lack * The focus of the book is not only what is done with the management of pain but whether and why it is done * Both authors have been closely involved in the establishment and ongoing management of The Pain Management Programme at Salford, one of the best in the world
