Jeffrey M. Schwartz

Jeffrey M. Schwartz is a distinguished psychiatrist and neuroscientist known for his research on the brain's role in obsessive-compulsive disorder and for integrating science with spirituality. He developed a therapeutic approach called "Self-Directed Neuroplasticity," which suggests that individuals can rewire their brains through focused mental effort and conscious decision-making. Schwartz's work emphasizes that our thoughts and choices can influence brain structure and function, empowering people to change destructive habits and improve mental health. His contributions bridge neuroscience, psychology, and philosophy, offering insights into human agency and the potential for personal growth.
