Self-Management for Persistent Pain

More about the book

Focusing on the challenges of self-management in chronic pain care, Karen Rodham critiques the current healthcare approach, highlighting its potential to blame individuals for ineffective management. She argues that the empowering concept of self-management often fails in practice, potentially exacerbating patients' conditions. Drawing on research and her professional experience, Rodham advocates for a shift towards a collaborative model that considers the life-context of those living with persistent pain, promoting a more supportive and effective care strategy.
