Bio:

Jamie D. Feusner joined the faculty in the department of psychiatry in July of 2006. Dr. Feusner graduated with honors from UC San Diego with a major of Biochemistry and Cell Biology. He obtained his medical degree and completed his psychiatry residency training at UCLA, during which time he received several awards. He then completed a clinical psychopharmacology fellowship followed by an NIMH-funded psychobiology research fellowship where he received training in neuroimaging. He has published on body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), anxiety disorders and mood disorders and has lectured nationally and internationally on these topics. Dr. Feusner teaches psychiatry residents clinical pharmacotherapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy in the UCLA Anxiety Disorders Clinic. He is currently funded by the NIH and the Obsessive-Compulsive Foundation to study visual information processing in BDD. He has published the first fMRI study in BDD.



Research Interest:
Understanding the brain basis of perception in body image disorders; new treatments for obsessive-compulsive disorder and anxiety disorders

We are using functional brain imaging to understand the basis for apparent perceptual distortions in body dysmorphic disorder, a disorder of body image. We are also developing new treatments for obsessive-compulsive disorder and other anxiety disorders.
