Dr. Schiffer’s latest book, Good-bye Anxiety, Depression, Addiction & PTSD: The Life-Changing Science of Dual-Brain Psychology, takes an indepth look at the science behind Dual-Brain Psychology while offering practical tips and tools to try it for yourself.

He has also begun implementing near-infrared light directed through a patient’s forehead to the brain as part of the treatment for psychological problems, especially for opiate abuse disorder. This technique, known as photobiomodulation, is part of Dr. Schiffer’s ongoing clinical trial on opioid cravings funded by the National Institutes of Health.
Over his decades-long career, Dr. Schiffer has been published in numerous journals and publications. He is also the author of Of Two Minds: The Revolutionary Science Of Dual-Brain Psychology, hailed by the New England Journal of Medicine as “bold, interesting, and ambitious.”

Dr. Fredric Schiffer
All problems come out of early traumas and very often it’s trauma that has not been recognized. As the founder of Dr. Schiffer’s Dual-Brain Psychology™, I have discovered a technique to treat the troubled mind using something as unlikely as a piece of junk mail. It’s detailed in my forthcoming book, Goodbye Anxiety, Depression, Addiction & PTSD: The Life-Changing Science of Dual-Brain Psychology.
Here’s how it works:
A person’s trauma is located in one brain hemisphere and forms a troubled personality that resembles a traumatized child. The other hemisphere is not so troubled, and if it can be brought forward, it is healthy and mature.
The aim of dual-brain psychotherapy is to help the healthier side become more dominant and to become a co-therapist to help me assist the troubled side to understand and treat the old traumas that have initiated the problems that the person is suffering.
DUAL-BRAIN PSYCHOLOGY
"Dual-Brain Psychology is already changing lives. Our research is supported and substantiated by years of clinical and experimental research published in multiple peer-reviewed journals. We have tested the theory in rigorous experiments, mainly at Harvard, for more than 30 years."
