Social constructionist try to debiologize the body and think it is only a social construction. But best argues against this by saying: there is more to pain than just signification and narrative. Leder (person"s name) says pain is an aversive (disliked), sensory experience that hurts. He also says that narrative plays an important role in how people understand of the experience of pain.
