Jeffrey M. Halperin, Ph.D.-Project Director

Jeffrey M. Halperin, Ph.D. is Professor of Psychology at Queens College and The Graduate Center of the City University of New York (CUNY), and a full-time member of the Neuropsychology Doctoral faculty.   In addition, he is a Professorial Lecturer in the Department of Psychiatry at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine.   Dr. Halperin received his Ph.D. in Psychology from the CUNY Graduate Center in 1979, and completed a Post-doctoral Fellowship in Psychopharmacology at Schering - Plough Pharmaceutical Corporation in 1980.

For over two decades Dr. Halperin has been conducting research examining diagnostic and treatment issues, as well as neural functioning, in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (AD/HD) and other disruptive behavior disorders.   A primary focus of his research has been to develop objective measures to evaluate symptomatology in children with AD/HD and to use these measures to identify more homogeneous subgroups of children with the disorder.   In addition, through the use of neuropsychological, neurochemical, and neuroimaging measures, he has examined the ways in which neural substrates might differ in subgroups of children with AD/HD as a function of comorbid aggressive behavior and learning disabilities.   Most recently, his focus has turned toward longitudinal studies that follow children prospectively over time to examine predictors of course and outcome among children with AD/HD.
