Review :
Succinct, clear, and current - this book fulfills its authors' stated intent to be a timely resource that provides a concise introduction to the complex and extensive field of chronic pain for all health professionals wanting - and needing - to know more. -- Dr Will Howard This handbook has exceeded expectations of a student with basic background in oncology. Its content is rich and worthy of every student's and young doctor's consideration. The book covers a wide range of topics, starting from pathophysiology to up-to-date criteria for diagnostics. We appreciated the special focus and easily understandable presentation of modern pain management. Moreover, every chapter finishes with most important Key Points which can be used for fast revision. We recommend this book as a stand-alone guide and also a great comprehensive book at wards! -- Jorune Suipyte, Medical Science Director The approach taken by Cousins and Gallagher is at the same time pragmatic and easy to understand; a useful tool for anyone caring for persons with chronic and cancer pain. -- Dr Patricia Bruckenthal "a phenomenal read ... I would personally recommend this to any budding medical student with a passion in chronic cancer pain!" -- Sam Ng, Treasurer "This is a compact, succinct and practical book covering the essentials of assessing and managing pain. ... [it] will be a positive addition to any practitioner's bookshelf." -- Dr Bronwyn Thompson, Clinical Senior Lecturer
