History of Pain Transcripts

The John C. Liebeskind History of Pain Collection

In 1993, John Liebeskind, one of IASP’s founding members, initiated a Pain Oral History Project as part of IASP's first efforts to record the history of pain science and management. This project included interviews with IASP founders and other prominent IASP members. 

They spoke about their professional journeys, the evolution of pain science, and why they chose to devote their lives to the study and management of pain. 

These transcripts and excerpts have been made available from the John C. Liebeskind History of Pain Collection for IASP's 50th Anniversary.
