Imagery for Pain Relief: A Scientifically Grounded Guidebook for Clinicians by David Pincus and Anees Sheikh is a clearly written, well-crafted book that fully accomplishes the agenda it lays out from the outset. The authors choose a tiny slice of clinical practice, which naturally constrains the topic material to manageable levels. Around this highly specialized area, a pastiche of research, theory and guidelines for practice implementation is woven. The book starts with a primer on pain, covering the varieties of its experience, plus physiological, personality and social factors relevant to its origins.
