Treatment of Chronic Pain by Integrative Approaches

From reviews of Deer, eds., Comprehensive Treatment of Chronic Pain by Medical, Interventional, and Integrative Approaches:

"Comprehensive Treatment of Chronic Pain by Medical, Interventional, and Integrative Approaches is a major textbook...
[I]t should be a part of all departmental libraries and in the reference collection of pain fellows and pain practitioners. In fact, this text could be to pain as Miller is to general anesthesia."

It offers unique and diverse topics related to pain management intertwining a theme of understanding the psychological aspects of chronic pain. … this is a reference that will enhance the clinical knowledge of ALL psychologists at various training and career levels, as well as other professionals to treat patients with chronic pain and lower the cost chronic pain has on our society.” (Angela M. Kuemmel and Cynthia Van Keuren, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 60 (42) October, 2015)
