Abstract
More than 20 percent of US adults suffer from some form of chronic pain. Our author, a cognitive psychologist and head of Dartmouth College's Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience Lab, examines the relationship among our thoughts, feelings, and beliefs about pain and the actual physical pain that we feel, what pain looks like in the brain, and how new research findings are leading to effective new treatments.
