Welcome Esteemed Colleagues and Guests

It is with heartfelt enthusiasm that I welcome you to the 7th Global Conference on Addiction Medicine, Behavioral Health, and Psychiatry, held in the vibrant city of Boston, Massachusetts. As we gather in a time marked by growing mental health needs, substance use challenges, and behavioral complexities, the importance of collaborative, interdisciplinary dialogue has never been more critical. This year’s program offers a rich tapestry of sessions addressing key areas such as addiction science, mental health diagnostics and treatment innovations, neurobiological underpinnings of addictive behaviors, public health frameworks, therapeutic modalities, and cutting-edge clinical research. Each presentation is crafted to foster meaningful exchange and inspire forward-thinking solutions. Whether you are an emerging scholar, seasoned clinician, dedicated researcher, or academic leader, this conference provides a dynamic platform to deepen your expertise, connect with peers, and contribute to the evolving landscape of mental health and addiction care.

Dear Conference Members of GAB 2025

As both a psychologist and a scientific committee member for the Global Conference on Addiction Medicine, Behavioral Health and Psychiatry, I am always excited to share and receive the most current research data on underlying neurogenetic and neurobiological syndromes which are causal influences for mental health disorders, including addictions.

At this year’s conference, I shall share progress notes on years 4 and 5 for Elle Foundation Case Study 101’s longitudinal study of Reward Deficiency Syndrome Solution System treatment planning. Genomic interventions were informed by genetic testing. This patient is enjoying neurological stability after experiencing 6 decades of life altered by dopamine and serotonin neurotransmission disruption. She has developed Reward Deficiency Syndrome symptom self-management skills. I am also eager to bring continuing education forums regarding the genomic era of addiction medicine to the conference.

6th Edition of Global Conference on Addiction Medicine, Behavioral Health and Psychiatry | October 20-22, 2025

Dear Conference Visitors, Welcome to this global gathering of minds, united in the common goal of advancing addiction medicine and behavioral health. It is an honor to be part of this momentous event, where we share knowledge, explore innovations, and work toward improving the lives of individuals and communities affected by addiction. In today?s rapidly evolving landscape, we find ourselves at the intersection of science, technology, and healing. As part of this exciting dialogue, I am thrilled to share a forward-thinking approach to addiction treatment?Tailoring Biblio-Poetry Therapies Using AI and Biofeedback. This presentation will explore the convergence of therapeutic literature, cutting-edge AI, and biofeedback technologies in the context of addiction recovery. Biblio-poetry therapy?whether through poetry, stories, or guided reflective writing?has long been a powerful tool for emotional expression and personal healing. With the integration of artificial intelligence and biofeedback, we can elevate this practice, offering individuals tailored content, real-time emotional insights, and personalized recovery experiences. This method holds great promise for building resilience, enhancing emotional regulation, and supporting long-term recovery. Through case studies and firsthand experiences from Hope at Hand, a nonprofit organization dedicated to using poetry therapy for healing (where I have had the privilege of serving for the past ten years as a founding board member), this presentation will illustrate how these advanced tools are helping individuals regain control, reflect deeply, and develop the protective factors necessary for overcoming addiction. We will also explore how AI can assist in crafting content that responds dynamically to each individual's unique emotional and physiological needs, creating a personalized and engaging therapeutic journey.
