| Dr. Neria studied philosophy, political science and psychology at Hebrew University, receiving his doctorate in psychology in 1994 from Haifa University. He is working in the area of trauma, loss and post-traumatic stress disorder both in research and in treatment over the last 15 years.
Dr. Neria was awarded the highest Israeli medal of valor equivalent to the Congressional Medal of Honor. As a Trauma and Grief researcher he studied various populations such as prisoners of war, American and Israeli war veterans, people who suffered traumatic loss, and patients hospitalized initially for psychosis.
His experience in the field of trauma and loss led to his recruitment to Columbia University and the New York State Psychiatric Institute shortly after the attacks of September 11th, 2001. He has become Associate Director of the Trauma Studies and Services, created specifically to provide treatment and to conduct psychosocial and epidemiological research among individuals with PTSD and Grief reactions.
Dr. Neria has authored numerous publications in the area of PTSD and is currently leading various research projects that are related to the aftermath of Sep 11, 2001 including a nation wide survey on Traumatic Grief in 9/11 victims and a longitudinal study in low income minority, primary care, patients in NYC affected by 9/11 attacks.
