Schmerz

Chronic pain can affect anyone. It's best to read the book before the pain begins. In Germany, 16 million people suffer from persistent or recurring pain. Conventional pain therapies are increasingly proving to be a dead end. Pharmacy, medicine, and research are stagnating, new painkillers are not in sight, and despair is growing among patients. Doctor and science journalist Harro Albrecht has researched worldwide and recounts the long struggle against this fundamental human experience - detailing progress, failures, and still unresolved questions. His findings are encouraging: relief is possible if we learn to approach pain differently. Albrecht's arguments are clear, and his liberation from many pain misconceptions is enlightening.
