{"product_id":"all-in-your-head-mara-buchbinder-9780520285224","title":"All in Your Head: Making Sense of Pediatric Pain","description":"Although pain is a universal human experience, many view the pain of others as private, resistant to language, and, therefore, essentially unknowable. And, yet, despite the obvious limits to comprehending another's internal state, language is all that we have to translate pain from the solitary and unknowable to a phenomenon richly described in literature, medicine, and everyday life. Without denying the private dimensions of pain, \u003ci\u003eAll in Your Head\u003c\/i\u003e offers an entirely fresh perspective that considers how pain may be configured, managed, explained, and even experienced in deeply relational ways. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in a pediatric pain clinic in California, Mara Buchbinder explores how clinicians, adolescent patients, and their families make sense of puzzling symptoms and work to alleviate pain. Through careful attention to the language of pain--including narratives, conversations, models, and metaphors--and detailed analysis of how young pain sufferers make meaning through interactions with others, her book reveals that however private pain may be, making sense of it is profoundly social.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mara Buchbinder\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520285220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520285224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/05\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.70d","brand":"Mara Buchbinder","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43919953887487,"sku":"9780520285224","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_fa15f54d-f604-4328-bc7e-19bfe98441e2.jpg?v=1680812829","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/all-in-your-head-mara-buchbinder-9780520285224","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
