Summer Replay | 28: We Have Ignored the Pain Psychology of Patients | Dr. Beth Darnall

This week, on Pain Reframed, Dr. Tim Flynn and Dr. Jeff Moore are joined by Dr. Beth Darnall, who is a pain psychologist, clinical scientist, and Clinical Professor at Stanford University.  Beth has a focus on pain catastrophizing as well as treating some of the key issues that prevent patients from succeeding with other pain treatments.

Clinically, Beth provides psychological services to patients with catastrophic burn, spinal cord injury or amputation.  Her desire to specialize in the management of chronic pain was inspired by her clinical experiences and by her own personal experience with chronic pain.  Beth brings a wealth of knowledge to the episode as they discuss some key aspects to managing patients with chronic pain as well as altering systems to maximize positive treatment effects.
