Arian Behzadi

I started the psychiatry residency at McGill University with a strong neuroscientific background: I had finished a postdoctoral fellowship at the Centre of Addiction and Mental Health, researching the role of dopaminergic receptors in addictions.

Since I started working as full-time staffer at the Scarborough Hospital, I have been working on promoting psychotherapy in the Department.

With a neuroscientific and neuroimaging (fMRI and PET) background, I am planning to contribute to the theory and practice of psychotherapy by an integrative neauroscientific method.
