Abstract		This paper considers the psychological, psihiatric and antropological view of pain. The first and most comprehensive part of the paper discusses the influence of personality characteristics, temperament and family, social and cultural factors on the perception and expression of pain in children and adolescents. The second part briefly outlines pain disorders treated by child and adolescent psychiatrists, including, among others, deliberate self-harming behaviour, where adolescents directly intend to injure themselves to cause physical pain in order to release their tension and reduce distress. This presents a different role for pain to that treated in other contributions. The last part of the paper moves even further from the classic-medical view of pain, treating the pain-suffering as an integral part of life and questioning whether perhaps an unconditional war against pain is the reason why man needs ever stronger stimuli in order to be able to feel alive.
