And pain specialists estimate that as many as thirty to sixty million Americans suffer from chronic pain. Chronic pain is a complex phenomenon-often extremely difficult to treat, and surprisingly difficult to define.Just as medical literature in general neglects the experience of illness, so the clinical literature on pain neglects the experience of pain. "Camp Pain" takes an approach different from most studies of chronic pain, which are typically written from a medical or social perspective. Based on a year's fieldwork in a pain treatment center, this book focuses on patients' perspectives-on their experiences of pain, what these experiences mean to them, and how this meaning is socially constructed. Jackson explores the psychological burden imposed on many sufferers when they are judged not to have "real" pain, and by harsh moral judgments that sufferers are weak, malingering, or responsible in some way for their pain. Jackson also looks at the ways in which severe pain erodes and destroys personal identity, studying in particular the role of language.While keeping her focus on patients' experiences, Jackson explores Western concepts of disease, health, mind, and body; assumptions about cause and effect; and notions of shame, guilt, and stigma. "Camp Pain" does not attempt to resolve the uncertainties and misperceptions associated with pain but rather aims at enhancing our understanding of the wider implications of chronic pain by focusing on the sufferers themselves. 606 $aChronic pain$xPsychological aspects 606 $aChronic pain 606 $aPain clinics 606 $aPain$xPsychological aspects 610 $aAnthropology. 610 $aCaregiving. 610 $aFolklore. 610 $aHealth. 610 $aLinguistics. 610 $aMedicine. 615 0$aChronic pain$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aChronic pain. 615 0$aPain clinics. 615 0$aPain$xPsychological aspects. 676 $a616/.0472 700 $aJackson$b Jean E$g(Jean Elizabeth),$f1943-$01479555 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781704903321 996 $a"Camp pain"$93695722 997 $aUNINA
