Steven D. Passik’s mom (Fran) and dad (Ike), and their granddaughter, Sofia (Steven’s daughter). That picture was taken almost exactly 22 years ago.
Steven D. Passik, Ph.D., is a Pennsylvania-based pain psychologist. I’m proud to call him a friend. He is a giant in the field of pain medicine, but that doesn’t make his family members immune to the problems that other chronic patients face.
Steve lost his mother on September 14, 2016. He’s given me permission to share her story here.
