Placebo, Psychotherapy, and Chronic Pain: Mechanisms and Treatments

This webinar is being produced through a collaboration of the IASP's Pain and Placebo Special Interest Group and the University of Maryland, Baltimore, USA - in particular - the University of Maryland School of Nursing's Placebo Beyond Opinions Organized Research Center. Both groups are aligned on advancing unbiased knowledge of placebo effects by promoting interdisciplinary investigation of the placebo phenomenon and nurturing placebo research.

Please note that this webinar is unique in that it is being hosted (both in-personal and virtually) by the University of Maryland. 

Join us for the Placebo Beyond Opinions Center guest lecture hybrid series. The series will explore the roles of neuroscience, empathy and the placebo effect in the management of chronic pain. This lecture on "TPlacebo, Psychotherapy, and Chronic  Pain: Mechanisms and Treatments" is presented by Yoni K. Ashar, PhD.

He completed his doctorate in clinical psychology and neuroscience at the University of Colorado Boulder and an NIH-funded postdoctoral fellowship at Weill Cornell Medicine.
