But in our efforts to avoid pain, are we excluding an important part of our human experience? In this sensitive and thoughtful book, psychologist Iris Paxino explores different kinds of pain and the ways in which each affects us: from the physical pain of illness and injury, through the emotional suffering caused by loss and deprivation, to the spiritual pain experienced in moments of doubt when we struggle with meaning in our lives. Paxino also discusses the history of pain, the impact of chronic pain and treatment methods including behavioural techniques and anthroposophic therapies. While pain should always be treated, Paxino argues that when we learn to accept it as an inescapable part of being human we develop resilience and inner peace as well as compassion for others. This sympathetic and enlightening book will be of interest to those who wish to explore the significance of pain in human experience and what we can learn from it.Language: GermanCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 216mmItem Length: 138mmItem Weight: 147gAuthor: Iris PaxinoTranslator: Cynthia HindesContributor: Cynthia Hindes (Translated by)Genre: MedicineRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
