Professor Stephen J Morley
Colleagues will be sorry to learn of the death, on 28 April 2017, of Professor Stephen Morley, Professor of Clinical Psychology in the Leeds Institute of Health Sciences.

He was also a former director of the doctoral programme in Clinical Psychology and an Honorary Consultant Clinical Psychologist with the Leeds Teaching Hospital NHS Trust. His focus throughout his career was the psychological aspect of chronic pain and his internationally renowned research in this area was instrumental in evaluating the efficacy and effectiveness of treatment for chronic pain, as well as the impact of pain on the self and identity.
