Pref ace
Consciousness reigns but does not govern
—Paul Valéry “La conscience règne mais ne gouverne pas”
(Mauvaises pensées et autres, Tome II Oeuvres , p. 813)
T his prophetic statement applies very appropriately to the pain, cognition and
emotion nexus. Pain is a fundamentally conscious experience, but emotions and
cognitions may govern the nature of that experience. For some time pain has been
recognized as a complex biopsychosocial experience rather than a sensory circuit of
unpleasant interoceptive transmission. As such there has been an ever increasing
body of research into the emotional and cognitive factors that help to shape the
perceptual experience of pain, as well as research into the way that pain can impact
on these important aspects of the human condition. This book explores nodal
intersections of the experience of pain and emotional and cognitive dysfunction that
impair the quality of life of patients.
Pain, emotion and cognition aims to provide a comprehensive resource for health
care providers and researchers alike, who seek a contemporary knowledge on this
broad topic. It attempts to update our understanding of these areas by providing a
state-of-the-art review of current literature and raises new questions and challenges
in order to advance the fi eld. The book contains 15 chapters, organized into 4 main
sections. Part 1 of the book is devoted to the basic phenomenology of each domain
including emotion, cognition and pain as well as a discussion of empathy and the
underlying molecular and neurophysiological substrates. Part 2 deals with appropri-
ate methods of measurement including psychometric tools, facial and behavioral
markers, and assessment diffi culties in those with dementia. Part 3 examines
psychological, medical and physical treatment strategies that can be used to manage
pain and its emotional and cognitive impacts. The fi nal section considers the pain,
emotion and cognition nexus in special populations including phantom limb pain,
Parkinson’s disease, psychiatric patients and in the elderly. All sections analyze the
complex interrelationships between pain, emotion and cognition in the light of the
complementary approaches of neurosciences, psychology, pharmacology,
neuroimaging, physical rehabilitation and medical care.
