Critical Approaches to Health: Constructing Pain – new book offer from Routledge

This announcement was sent by Routledge yesterday and involves the work of some of our good friends in the International Society of Critical Health Psychology (ISCHP).

We are really pleased to announce that the first book in our Routledge series, Critical Approaches to Health, has just been published.

The book is entitled Constructing Pain, and is authored by ISCHP Exec member, Robert Kugelmann.

More details at https://www.routledge.com/Constructing-Pain-Historical-psychological-and-critical-perspectives/Kugelmann/p/book/9781138841222 where you can also look inside the book and read the introduction.

You can also find information about the series at https://www.routledge.com/Critical-Approaches-to-Health/book-series/CRITHEA

You may (or may not) recall that this series is published in association with ISCHP, and that ISCHP members (members of this list) receive a 20% discount when purchasing books from the series. 

Currently, we have one book published, five more in production and due for publication in 2017, and six more contracted and in preparation (as listed below).
