Description and Table of Contents

Description

The book gives a survey of the medical, philosophical and religious aspects of chronic pain and suffering. Experts in the fields of neuropharmacology, anaesthesiology, psychology and psychotherapy, neurology and neurosurgery as well as representatives of the main world religions and of different philosophical directions were brought together during the First Convention of the Academia Eurasiana Neurochirurgica in September 1985, and discussed the various aspects of pain and suffering, including the possibilities for treatment. The combination of religious, philosophical and medical facets of pain means a new approach to better understanding of the problems related to pain and suffering.
