Revision as of 11:01, 30 June 2021 by Gbaslet (talk | contribs)

Welcome to BWH Neuropsychiatry! We look forward to working with you.

This document outlines the most important logistical aspects of our clinical operations. In case of any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Dr. Baslet or ask your clinic supervisor(s).

Who are we?

Our Neuropsychiatry Division consists of 7 neuropsychiatrists on staff at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. We are one the core components of the Center for Brain/Mind Medicine (CBMM). You will be working with one or two primary supervisors per clinic session (4-hour clinic block). Due to cross-coverage, you will likely interact with most of us at some point. We are:

Gaston Baslet, M.D.

Jessica Harder, M.D.

Stanley Lyndon, M.D.

Geoffrey Raynor, M.D.

Shan Siddiqi, M.D.

Joseph Taylor, M.D.

Juan Carlos Urizar, M.D. (geriatric neuropsychiatry)

There are other neuropsychiatrists affiliated to CBMM that you will meet during rounds (Dr. Barry Fogel, Dr. Barbara Schildkrout, and others) that you will have the opportunity to learn from and consult with. We also have two social workers in Neuropsychiatry and you may reach out to them with clear short-term psychotherapy referrals. Click here for an overview of the services provided by neuropsychiatry social workers. You and your supervisor should discuss if a referral to Social Work is appropriate. Our two neuropsychiatry social workers are:

Margaret Latawiec, L.I.C.S.W.

Laura Morrissey, L.I.C.S.W.

We also have access to a Community Health Worker (CHW), Mr. Jean-Ford Figaro. The CHW can provide brief assistance around specific case management needs (ie, housing, food insecurity, etc) and help providing community referrals for mental health treatment (ie, need to establish psychotherapy with a provider in the community).
