The Behavioral Medicine Program at Massachusetts General Hospital provides specialized care at the intersection of psychology and health for patients impacted by both medical and psychiatric conditions through impactful clinical work, innovative professional training, and cutting-edge research.
Since the program’s founding by Steven A. Safren, PhD in 2004, the treatment programs and research conducted by the Behavioral Medicine Program have emphasized the use of validated, state-of-the art treatment interventions based on the latest research to help patients reach their best levels of mental and physical health.
The BMED Program specializes in providing caring and effective cognitive behavioral therapy-based interventions that are often short-term, skills-based, and tailored to the patient’s individual needs.
The Behavioral Medicine Program is comprised of world-renowned leaders in domestic and international behavioral research. Situated within the Department of Psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital, we lead behavioral medicine funded research within the Harvard Medical School communities.
We provide state-of-the-art training and career mentorship through nationally recognized pre- and post-doctoral training programs in behavioral medicine, global psychiatry, and clinical intervention science.
As a full-service clinical program, we provide the most up-to-date treatment for a wide variety of psychological difficulties to patients with complex health problems.
