Abstract
Leventhal and Everhart make it quite clear that pain and the emotions associated with it play a significant part in the development and well-being of the physical and social self. Their emphasis is on the contribution of emotions to the subjective experience of pain, and the explanatory model that has been developed by Leventhal and his colleagues pushes back the frontier of research on pain and pain-emotion-cognition interactions.
Research supported by grants from the National Science Foundation (SOC 75-02482) and the Robert Woods Johnson Foundation.
