This classic text provides comprehensive coverage of the most advanced methods for assessing the person in pain.
Now in a revised and expanded second edition, this classic text provides comprehensive coverage of the most advanced methods for assessing the person in pain. The Volume addresses the full range of isssues that influence patients' perception and reporting of pain, as well as their responsiveness to treatment--physical pathology, psychosocial factors, and behavioral variables. Leading authorities describe the available instruments and best procedures, review their limitations and advantages, and provide practical information and guidelines for assessing prevalent pain syndromes. The volume has been updated throughout to reflect the latest research findings, conceptual developments, innovative methods, and directions for future investigation. The second edition has been substantially expanded, featuring new chapters on diagnositc injections, assessment of physical functioning, family assessment, presurgical psychological screening, assessment of psychiatric disorders, diagnositic imaging, and issues related to conducting outcomes research and clinical trials. Additionally, coverage of specific syndromes has been augmented with new chapters on neuropathic pain, complex regional pain, and chronic pelvic pain.

Currently he is back at McGill University as a Professor in the Department of Psychology.

In addition to more than 200 papers on research and theory, he has written and edited five books. Drs. Turk and Melzack were recently identified among the top 10 leaders in the field of pain for their contributions to research and treatment development (survey of International Association for the Study of Pain membership, published in [i]The Pain Clinic[/i], 2001).
