About Me
Alain Brunet is a scientist-practitioner at the Douglas Institute and Professor of Psychiatry at McGill University. His research team was the first to show in a patient population that one could treat a psychiatric disorder by selectively blocking the reconsolidation of specific memories. The applications of this finding to date include the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder, addiction, and adjustment disorders. This brief treatment method was taught as an emergency measure to 200 clinicians in France who, in turn, successfully treated hundreds of victims in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks that took place in Paris (2015) and Nice (2016).
