Kingston, NY – The Global Directory of Who’s Who proudly recognizes Dr. Richard P. Brown, Associate Professor of Clinical Psychiatry at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. A distinguished graduate of Columbia University (M.D., 1977), Dr. Brown completed his psychiatry residency and fellowship in Psychobiology and Psychopharmacology at New York Hospital, Cornell University Medical College. Over the course of his career, he has authored more than 100 scientific publications, books, and chapters, earning national and international acclaim for his expertise in pharmacological treatments, clinical studies, and integrative approaches in psychiatry. His work was honored with the International Book Award in 2010, taking first place in the Alternative Medicine category.
Beyond academia, Dr. Brown and his wife, Dr. Patricia Gerburg, co-founded a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting individuals and communities affected by major crises. Their humanitarian efforts have extended to survivors of the 9/11 World Trade Center attacks, the Gulf Oil Spill, the Haiti earthquakes, and the Rwandan genocide. Through these initiatives, Dr. Brown has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to healing not just the mind, but also the spirit, of those impacted by profound trauma.
In addition to his clinical and humanitarian work, Dr. Brown has developed a groundbreaking neurophysiological theory on the effects of yoga breathing on mental and physical health. His research underscores its benefits for anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Drawing upon his experience as a certified teacher of Aikido (4th Dan), yoga, Qigong, and Open Focus Meditation, he created the innovative Breath-Body-Mind program. This course is now widely utilized by healthcare professionals, yoga instructors, disaster survivors, individuals battling medical illness, and the general public to foster resilience, restore balance, and promote holistic well-being.
