At the heart of this book is the matter of pain as an aporia—a mystery that defies simple categorisation and challenges our understanding. Through this book, readers will learn about the evolution of pain medicine from a traditional biomedical model to a more comprehensive sociopsychobiomedical framework, emphasising the importance of intersubjectivity and reframing in pain management.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe chapters cover a wide range of topics, including the language of pain, the nuances of the clinical encounter, and the centrality of nociception.
