Lost Voices (eBook, ePUB)

Women, Chronic Pain, and Abuse

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Dr. Nellie Radomsky explores the complexity of chronic pain in women and evidence for its association with abusean issue largely unrecognized by medical practitioners. Modern medical training emphasizes diagnosis and cure, but chronic pain problems often have no identifiable organic cause, and the women who suffer are often not listened to in the doctor's office. Lost Voices: Women, Chronic Pain, and Abuse addresses how women, by gaining knowledge of the ways the medical culture--and the larger culture--have silenced them, may move into a healing process and learn to speak out. The author encourages women in pain to give voice to their buried experiences and shows them that speaking out about their experiences with abuse and chronic pain can be the first step on the road to healing.
