Editor’s note: IASP will be celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2024. Even though the anniversary is still a few years away, it already has us thinking about the history of IASP and the evolution of pain research over the past five decades. So, we are providing a series of podcasts that will cover both of those topics, featuring senior leaders in the field who have made major contributions to pain research and care, including those with major roles at IASP.
Our latest such podcast features Judith Turner, PhD. Dr. Turner, a Past President of IASP, is a pain psychologist whose current research interests include chronic opioid therapy, effectiveness of opioid tapering and pain self-management treatments, effectiveness and moderators of treatments for chronic pain, and predictors and mediators of pain treatment outcomes (see full bio below). In this podcast, Dr. Turner speaks with PRF Correspondent Manasi M. Mittinty, MD, PhD, a physician-scientist and lecturer at the University of Sydney, Australia, to discuss her journey in the field of pain psychology, the biopsychosocial model of pain, and her experience serving as IASP President.
