American Pain Society 4700 W. Lake Ave. This is a good resource book for students of physical therapy. It covers all aspects of chronic pain, from basic science to the politics of pain management. Each chapter contains numerous references to the seminal articles in a given subject area.
Case examples serve to illustrate the key points in many chapters.
There are a few illustrations and algorithms for diagnosis and treatment. An appendix contains examples of many of the psychometric instruments used to evaluate patients. One thing that is lacking, however, is a chapter on how a physical therapist should function as a member of a multidisciplinary pain treatment team. I think that this book could serve as a starting point in the training of a physical therapist who wished to focus on patients with chronic pain. It is well written and easy to read.
