전기 및 작가의 여정

Jeffrey M. Schwartz is an American psychiatrist, neuroscientist, and author whose career has been shaped by an unusual convergence of medicine, philosophy, and contemplative practice. He studied at the University of Rochester and later earned his medical degree at SUNY Downstate, but his formation was never purely clinical. As a student and young doctor, he was drawn not only to neuroscience but also to poetry, moral philosophy, and mindfulness, interests that became central to his intellectual identity. After training and research that passed through New York and California, including psychiatric work connected to Cedars-Sinai, the Salk Institute, and UCLA, he established himself at the UCLA School of Medicine. The decisive turning point came when he began combining brain imaging, clinical psychiatry, and mindfulness-informed treatment in the study of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
