Social, psychological, and biological contexts
affect an individual's response to pain, but the nature of familial,
cultural, and ethnic factors is often obscured by stereotypical
thinking and poor methodology on the part of researchers. Contextual
influences on pediatric pain merit special attention because early pain
experiences potently affect later pain experiences.
In this volume, international experts in pain research and treatment
share their perspectives on these contextual factors and point the way
toward future research.

"This book is essential reading for researchers or clinicians
interested in paediatric pain, and pain medicine specialists who manage
children and adolescents. Pain medicine specialists in adult practice
should also read this book to gain insight into the childhood and
adolescent factors that contribute to the complex biopsychosocial milieu
in adulthood."
G. Chalkiadis, Anaesthesia and Intensive Care, Vol. 32,
No. 5 October 2004
"This is a first-class book if you have any interest in pediatric
