Biobehavioral Approaches for the Life Course

“It is easier to find men who will volunteer to die than to find those who are willing to endure pain with patience.” Julius Caesar 75 BCE “Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.”Unknown In his Foreword to the first edition of Pain and the Neurosurgeon in 1955, Sir Geoffrey Jefferson noted: “This book is concerned with pain, not as a warning, but as an enemy to be defeated.” Wilder Penfield addressed this further in his Foreword to the 1969 edition of this classic: “The problem is vastly complicated by the fact that the enemy presents himself with devilish guile behind so many masks.”
