NEW    Dr. Rosenthal interviewed by Katie Couric on the Today Show (4.2 MB WMV)

Through his research, writings, speaking engagements and private practice, Dr. Norman Rosenthal has been a voice of hope for those suffering from depression and emotional distress. His pioneeering work in the field of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and phototherapy created a revolution in the identification and treatment of seasonal depression.

In his Private Practice, Dr. Rosenthal works with many different treatment modalities, both conventional and complementary. These include pharmacological approaches (He is a member of the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology), different forms of psychotherapy and a range of "alternative" treatments, many of which have a solid scientific basis. He maintains that when it comes to treating emotional difficulties, there is no single solution that is right for everyone and tries to customize his approach to each individual's issues and needs.

Dr. Rosenthal is the Medical Director of Capital Clinical Research Associates (CCRA), a group that evaluates the effects of new medications on a variety of emotional issues.
