great book, one drawback

This is an excellent compiliation. It brings one up to date on what is currently known about many psychosocial factors in pain. The one drawback is that the issue of pain as a desired stimulus (as in the case of self-mutilation, passive algolagnia, and certain religious ceremonies) is never addressed. I personally feel that this is major drawback to the book. Nevertheless this is one of the best books on the subject to date, and is an excellent resource for anyone studying pain.
