Jeffrey M. Schwartz

Jeffrey M. Schwartz is an American psychiatrist renowned for his work in neuroplasticity and its applications to obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).

His research focuses on the mind's ability to alter brain function, challenging traditional views of the brain-mind relationship.

Schwartz developed a four-step cognitive-behavioral therapy method for treating OCD, which has been widely adopted.

He is a proponent of mind-body dualism, arguing for the distinction between brain and mind.

Schwartz has authored several books on neuroplasticity and appeared in the controversial film "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed." His work bridges neuroscience and self-directed behavioral change, influencing both clinical practice and popular understanding of brain function.
