Research Summary
Dr. Harpaz-Rotem’s main research interest aims to further improve the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) by gaining understandings into the neurobiological, psychological and system issues that interface after exposure to trauma and its sequela. What differentiates resiliency from vulnerability? Who is more likely to develop PTSD and who might develop depression in the aftermath of trauma? Should we treat PTSD using psychological treatment, medications, or both? These important questions propel the research done in our lab and in collaboration with other investigators around the globe.
