Fredric Schiffer, MD

I am a research associate at McLean and an assistant professor of psychiatry, at Harvard Medical School. I have been studying the relationship between past traumas, cerebral laterality, and depression and anxiety, and have developed a hypothesis on the physical nature of conscious experience and its relation to the brain and to psychological function.

I also study the role that near infrared light directed through the forehead to the brain may play as a treatment for psychological problems, including Fentanyl  use disorders.
