Evidence of a nineteenth-century tradition of theoretical discussion about the relationship between chronic pain and pathological lesion, trauma, mood, memory and personality is brought together here for the first time. A wide range of medical texts is surveyed, including pathology, surgery, physiology, neurology, psychiatry and psychoanalysis. We see the medical gaze first penetrate the tissues of the body then extend to examine the language and mental state of the pain patient.

Dr Andrew Hodgkiss is consultant Liaison Psychiatrist and Honorary Senior Lecturer in Liaison Psychiatry at St Thomas’ Hospital & King’s College, London. Lacanian Psychoanalyst, Member of the Centre for Freudian Analysis & Research, London.
