Dr John Brown completed his training in clinical psychology at The Australian National University (ANU) as part of a PhD (Clinical Psychology) degree. This training focused on developing his proficiency in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) used in the treatment of depression, anxiety and eating disorders, as well as Motivational Interviewing used for helping people to overcome addiction, impulse control, and non-compliance problems. John also has an interest in the drug-free treatment of sleeping problems. As part of his ongoing efforts to expand his knowledge and clinical skills, he later undertook additional training in Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), which has been shown to be an effective treatment for depression related to interpersonal problems. In addition to clinical practice, John conducts research at the ANU regarding the long-term effects of recreational drugs on brain functioning.
