      abstract = {This is the first book tackling the topic of world  suffering. It compiles in one place the ideas,  perspectives, and findings of researchers from around the  world who pioneered research-based understanding of human  suffering. Some chapters use the paradigm of ℓ́ℓquality of  lifeℓ́ℓ to explore ways to enhance knowledge on  suffering.℗ℓ Other chapters show how concepts and knowledge  from suffering research can benefit studies on quality of  life.℗ℓ ℗ℓ ℗ℓ By bringing together in one volume, ideas and  research experience from the best minds and leading  researchers in the fields of pain, suffering, poverty,  deprivation, disability and quality of life (including  well-being and happiness), this volume advances social  science solutions to a number of major threads of research,  most notably suffering. As a whole, the volume advances the  fields of suffering and deprivation by suggesting a working  typology of suffering and by pointing out the major  paradigms for relief of suffering, such as humanitarianism,  human rights, caring, and healing. This volume provides a  wealth of insights about the interaction between suffering  and quality of life, the most up-to-date characterization  of worldwide suffering, and a grasp of the implications of  these data for local and global policy on health and social  well-being.℗ℓ},
