Fredric Schiffer, MD, is a research associate at McLean and an assistant professor of psychiatry, part-time, at Harvard Medical School. He has been studying the relationship between past traumas, cerebral laterality, and depression and anxiety, and has developed a hypothesis on the physical nature of conscious experience and its relation to the brain and to psychological function.
Dr. Schiffer also studies the role that near-infrared light directed through the forehead to the brain may play as a treatment for psychological problems, including opioid use disorders. He maintains a private practice of adult psychiatry in Newton, Massachusetts.
Dear Dr. Schiffer, I enjoyed your presentation. I wanted to contact you to discuss more about the prototype development of your PBM device for opioid treatment. But it seems that you have been very busy all the time. Please let me know if you are still interested in developing the devices any time and I will be happy to discuss about the project.
