Abstract
In this book we have looked at the many factors that complicate the treatment of chronic pain in the United States from the popularity of treatments with questionable or controversial evidence to disability systems that do not encourage functional improvements. Many biopsychosocial factors also affect chronic pain in patients from fear and resentment to anger and feelings of being wronged or a victim.
