"This highly informative book will be welcomed enthusiastically by clinical investigators and health care providers alike. Once again, Drs. Turk and Gatchel have brought together a superb list of respected authors to provide practical information and insights on psychosocial and behavioral factors in acute and chronic pain syndromes. The text is comprehensive and up to date, including an explosion of new material on the most important assessment and treatment issues surrounding persons with intractable pain. I highly recommend this book for both seasoned professionals and students new to the field. It is an absolute ?must have.'"--Robert N.
