Pain and suffering

Livingston, who chaired the department of surgery at the U. of Oregon Medical School (now Oregon Health Sciences U.), left this previously unpublished manuscript on personal narratives about his pain research and clinical cases when he died in 1966. Chapters cover such topics as phantom limb pain, hypnosis, and the Pain Project. Appendices on post-traumatic pain syndrome, the Pain Project team, and the original conclusion to the manuscript augment the text. The book's price for Members of the International Association for the Study of Pain is $31.20. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
