contents En torno al sentido del dolor Otto Dörr Zegers Medicina Pain suffering depression hermeneutics phenomenology Pain and suffering have always accompanied man. We find themin the most ancient myths and particularly in the Book of Genesis.Pain is apparently something innate in man and to a certain extent peculiar to him. This is clear when Yahweh tells the woman, “In sorrow thou shalt bring forth children” (Chapter 3, Vers.16) and the man, “In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread”(Chapter 3, Vers. 19) and not long before he had told him thatfrom now on life would give him “thorns and thistles” (Chapter3, Vers. 18). Now, how could man, who in Paradise lived in a state of full happiness, not know pain before his “fall”, when he also had body, like the animals? Or is it perhaps a matter of different kinds of pain?One possibility of understanding this biblical assertion is tothink that the mythical text refers to suffering and not to pain.We would share the latter with animals, while suffering would bepeculiar to the human being. But it just happens that, as we willsee later, the boundary between suffering and pain is very diffuseand there are pains that are neither the result of action of anexternal agent nor identifiable with suffering (due to somethinglost, for example)... 2006 artículo científico 0185-3325 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=58242902 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=582 Salud Mental application/pdf Instituto Nacional de Psiquiatría Ramón de la Fuente Muñiz Salud Mental (México) Num.4 Vol.29
