These are challenges for all pain science, but we would expect psychological science to be more active in addressing inequity. But in the past 150 years, since the first psychology textbook was written,[8] psychology has broadened into a complex field with subdisciplines from the biological to the social, using methods as diverse as ethnography and neuroimaging. At the other end of the spectrum, there are few studies, either idiographic or nomothetic, of social, political, cultural, or discursive psychologies in pain, although there are some excellent examples of how applied (nonclinical) psychology can offer unique insight.
