It communicates how a dying person's pain can be a whole overwhelming experience, not only physical but also psychological, social and spiritual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTotal pain\u003c\/em\u003e clearly summarises Saunders' whole-person, multidisciplinary outlook, but is it a phenomenon, an intervention framework, a care approach, or something else?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book disregards the idea that Saunders' phrase has one coherent meaning and instead explores the multiple interpretations now current in contemporary professional discourse.
