Dear friends and colleagues. In reviewing research data, I noted key informants discuss issues re: chronic pain and the lack of what I refer to as "corporeal integrity". In other words, folks have indicated that their difficulties reside not only within their society but within their bodies as well. Initially, being a social model adherent, I found this challenging to reconcile. I have read some of Carol Thomas' work and wonder if any of you can suggest articles that address this issue, critiquing the social model but from within teh social model perspective. Work specific to chronic pain would be great but other reccomended works would also be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much, Lilith ________________End of message________________ This Disability-Research Discussion list is managed by the Centre for Disability Studies at the University of Leeds (www.leeds.ac.uk/disability-studies).
