Dr Todd Feinberg

We are honoured to welcome Todd E. Feinberg, M.D., Professor of Clinical Psychiatry and Neurology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Chief of the Yarmon Neurobehavior and Alzheimer’s Disease Center at Beth Israel Medical Center in New York, to our Board of Advisors here at The Neuropsychotherapist. Dr Feinberg is internationally recognized as a leading authority on how the neurobiology of the brain creates the individual’s sense of identity. He has been featured on Dateline NBC, The Leonard Lopate Show, Fresh Air with Terry Gross, The Learning Channel, and numerous appearances on local New York television. His work on disturbances of the brain was highlighted in the 2006 National Book Award winner, The Echo Maker by Richard Powers, a novel about a patient who develops Capgras syndrome, which Feinberg has researched extensively.

Dr. Feinberg lectures frequently and has delivered the keynote address at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Neuropsychology and given speeches on the neurobiology of the self for the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the National Institutes of Health,and other venues. He was among a handful of leading scientists featured in the Newark Star Ledger prize winning series The Seekers, and he has published articles on the neurobiology of the self for the Dana Forum on Brain Science and Daedalus, the journal of American Academy of Arts & Sciences. His work on the neurobiology of the self was featured recently in a February 2006 special issue of Science News “Finding the Inner Me: neural roots of identity.”

Dr. Feinberg is the author of Altered Egos: How the Brain Creates the Self (Oxford, 2001), and co-editor of the textbook Behavioral Neurology and Neuropsychology (McGraw-Hill) now in its second edition and The Lost Self: Pathologies of the Brain and Identity (Oxford, 2005), and has written nearly 100 articles, abstracts, or books. His most recent book is From Axons to Identity: Neurological Explorations of the Nature of the Self (W.W.Norton).

With such a wealth of knowledge and expertise, we hold Dr Feinberg as a very valuable mentor in our corporate discovery of multidisciplinary integration toward mental health.
