bk64@nyu.edu

I have taught courses on neuropsychopharmacology, DSM, psychotic disorders from DNA to Neighborhood, and affective and social neuroscience in various graduate and doctoral departments at NYU, Columbia University and CUNY and have numerous publications in peer-reviewed journals and books. I am an Associate Editor of the quarterly international journal Psychosis: Psychological, Social and Integrative Approaches. I served on the Honorary Scientific Committee revising the 2nd edition of the Psychodynamic Diagnostic Manual (PDM-2) on the section of schizophrenia and psychotic disorders. I have served as a scientific advisor/reviewer for the journal Schizophrenia Bulletin when it was published by our NIMH. I served as a reviewer for many peer-reviewed journals and books, e.g., the International Journal of Psychoanalysis, Columbia University Press, etc. I am a NYS licensed psychologist and began my clinical work at Elmhurst Hospital/Mt. Sinai Medical Center, Queens NY, on an inpatient child psychiatry unit in the mid 1970s.Since then I have worked in various hospitals, clinics and private practice. In the late 1970s, I had begun my research on the effects of chronic stress in Diabetes Mellitus Type I, teaching stress reduction skills to patients to lower their hemoglobin A1C levels. Then I began studying the effects of chronic stress, early life stress and various kinds of complex traumas on the brain, body and person of people diagnosed with psychotic disorders or PTSD/complexPTSD. I came to view many of the DSM diagnoses to be significantly caused or shaped by complex traumatic stress, social defeat, social isolation, including social stigma and social exclusion. I have been working over 40 years as a clinician, having done a nine year postdoc at NYU in psychotherapy and psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic supervision, as well as having CBT training, especially in psychotic disorders as I participated in an international CBT group for psychosis, a group of researchers and clinicians led by Aaron Beck, founder of cognitive therapy.While working in the NYS Office of Mental Health and Rockland Psychiatric Center, I received the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. award in the 1990s for my advocacy work with a BIPOC population. I have travelled extensively to other countries, studying their mental health systems with ISPS, an affiliate of the World Psychiatric Association, e.g, the Finnish Open Dialogue approach. The human rights of patients have become a central concern for me. I have been centrally involved in an international movement to have the WHO and APA drop and replace the scientifically challenged and stigmatizing term “schizophrenia,” along with groups of persons with lived experience, e.g., in the Netherlands, as well as clinicians and family members.
