À propos de l'auteur

Michael W. Otto, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology, Boston University. Dr. Otto specializes in the cognitive-behavioral treatment of anxiety, mood, and substance use disorders, and has developed clinical-research programs for the treatment of panic disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, social phobia, bipolar disorder, psychotic disorders, substance dependence, and medication discontinuation in patients with panic disorder. Dr. Otto's research activities are closely tied to his clinical interests and target investigations of the etiology and treatment of anxiety, mood, and substance-use disorders. Of particular interest to Dr. Otto is the development and testing of new treatments, including the combination of pharmacologic and cognitive-behavioral strategies for treatment-refractory and substance abusing patients, and the modification of treatment packages for novel populations (e.g., Cambodian refugees). He has published over 200 articles, book chapters, and books spanning these research interests. Dr. Otto is President-Elect for the Association for Advancement of Behavior Therapy, a fellow of the American Psychological Association, and a member of the Scientific Advisory Board for the Anxiety Disorders Association of America.
