Professor of Psychiatry and Family Medicine, University of Cincinnati
My teaching and research has focused on mind-body questions. I practice psychiatry in a variety of primary care settings, and I specialize in psychosomatic medicine. I've spent the past 30 years training physicians to be both family doctors and psychiatrists. My first book Treating the Aching Heart (2007), presents a guide to the circular relationships among depression, stress, and heart disease. My second book, Toxic Stress (2024), explores how some kinds of stress are killing us early and what we can do about it. Over the last ten years I have posted blogs on two themes: Pearls from our Stress Response System, and the Art and Science of Making Contact.
