The scholarship on suffering is made more comprehensible in the book by using nine different conceptual frames that have been used for making sense of suffering. The primary focus of this work is with the last frame, the quality of life frame. Overall, these chapters show for the first time how the research on quality of life and well-being can be enhanced by embracing human suffering. 000723008 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000723008 650_0 $$aSuffering$$xSocial aspects. 000723008 650_0 $$aSuffering$$xEvaluation. 000723008 650_0 $$aSuffering$$vStatistics. 000723008 650_0 $$aQuality of life$$xEvaluation. 000723008 650_0 $$aQuality of life$$vStatistics. 000723008 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aAnderson, Ronald E.$$tHuman suffering and quality of life.$$dDordrecht : New York : Springer, c2014$$z9400776683$$w(OCoLC)855848042 000723008 830_0 $$aSpringerBriefs in well-being and quality of life research. 000723008 852__ $$bebk 000723008 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-94-007-7669-2$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000723008 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:723008$$pGLOBAL_SET 000723008 980__ $$aEBOOK 000723008 980__ $$aBIB 000723008 982__ $$aEbook 000723008 983__ $$aOnline 000723008 994__ $$a92$$bISE
