Psychiatry Specialist
Meet Dr. Litvinov, the Medical Director for Reign and Prevail. Over the past twenty years he has seen an increase in the importance of the body in psychology, neuroscience, philosophy of mind and psycho- pharmacology. It challenges the orthodox view in cognitive science in several ways: it downplays the traditional 'mind-as-computer' approach and emphasizes the role of interactions between the brain, body, and environment. computation and representation. He looks at the current relationship between orthodox cognitive science and the study of mental disorder and consider the implications all of them in my practice. Dr. Litvinov has been practicing medicine for more than 20 years. His interest is General Psychiatry (particularly, Adult Age Psychiatry). He also accomplished Fellowships in Geriatric Psychiatry and Addiction Psychiatry.
