   Biographical context: He also has studied the psychophysiological dynamics of heart rate variability and heart rate variability biofeedback in various disorders

   Paul Lehrer, PhD Paul Lehrer, PhD Interests: Biofeedback, Psychophysiology, Psychosomatics, Anxiety, Panic Dr. Lehrer is a Professor of Psychiatry. His research emphasis has been on process involved in cognitive behavior therapy and psychophysiological therapies, more than on specific disorders. His recent research has involved psychophysiological and cognitive behavioral interventions for treating asthma, somatization, and panic. He also has studied the psychophysiological dynamics of heart rate variability and heart rate variability biofeedback in various disorders, and has evaluated cognitive behavior therapy for patients with multiple somatic symptom (somatization) disorder and comorbid asthma and panic disorder. Over the years he also has evaluated psychophysiological and behavioral approaches to a variety of other disorders, including major depression, general anxiety and stress, performance anxiety, headaches, and fibromyalgia. He has a particular interest in looking at heart rate variability as a sign of resilience in these and other disorders, and the use of heart rate variability biofeedback to improve resilience.
