solving the mystery of chronic pain and depression

Millions of us suffer from chronic pain. It can return at the slightest provocation and its cause is often a mystery to doctors. In this book, Kaplan argues that we've been thinking about disease all wrong. Through cutting-edge research and dramatic patient stories, the book reveals how chronic physical and emotional pain are linked.

By focusing on long-term causes as well as symptoms, Kaplan has found hope for those locked into a lifetime of pain and suffering. His unified theory has created a new pathway to total recovery
