In this episode of the IASP-PRF Podcast, two of the article\u2019s authors speak with PRF contributor, Lincoln Tracy, PhD, Monash University, Melbourne, Australia. They discuss how the group formulated this theory of pain and how it builds upon the successes of the biopsychosocial model to provide a theoretical foundation for basic and translational pain science to move forward with a strong emphasis on factors that shape an individual\u2019s pain phenotype in a practical manner. Podcast participants include:         Timothy Lawn, PhD, King\u2019s College London, UK         Jan Vollert, PhD, University of Exeter, UK         Lincoln Tracy, PhD, Monash University, Melbourne, Australia (host)   ","author_name":"IASP Pain Research Forum Podcasts","author_url":"http:\/\/prfpodcast.libsyn.com\/website","html":"
