Rael Cahn, MD, Ph.D.

Profesor Clínico Asociado de Psiquiatría y Ciencias del Comportamiento (Educador Clínico)
Escuela de Medicina Keck
Correo electrónico: rael.cahn@usc.edu

Rael Cahn, MD, PhD, es profesor clínico asociado de psiquiatría en el Departamento de Psiquiatría de USC y dirige el Centro de Ciencias de la Atención Plena de la USC, así como su laboratorio en el Instituto del Cerebro y Creatividad de USC. En términos generales, su investigación se centra en la eficacia, así como en los correlatos cerebrales y corporales de la meditación, la atención plena y las terapias asistidas por psicodélicos para el desarrollo personal, la depresión, la ansiedad, el trastorno de estrés postraumático y los trastornos por uso de sustancias. Un aspecto de este tipo de intervenciones es la posibilidad de incorporar música curativa poderosa, especialmente para la aplicación de terapia asistida con psicodélicos. Un enfoque específico de su investigación actual sobre la meditación se refiere a los correlatos neuronales y clínicos con la transformación de la autoexperiencia. El Dr. Cahn también está estudiando las bases epigenéticas de la terapia asistida por MDMA para el trastorno de estrés postraumático, las firmas psicofisiológicas de la depresión y las tendencias suicidas, y un nuevo estudio que evalúa la eficacia clínica de un novedoso programa de entrenamiento de meditación asistido por psilocibina. Tiene un interés a largo plazo en la medicina mente-cuerpo y la psiquiatría integrativa, centrándose en el desarrollo e investigación de programas de entrenamiento de meditación y asistidos por psicodélicos para el desarrollo personal y los trastornos psiquiátricos, incluidos la depresión, el trastorno de estrés postraumático, la ansiedad y los trastornos por uso de sustancias.
