Biografía

Dr. Scott M. Hyman received his undergraduate degree in psychology from Binghamton University in 1998 and his PhD in clinical psychology from Nova Southeastern University in 2003 after completing his clinical internship at the Boston Consortium in Clinical Psychology-Boston VA Healthcare System.

From 2003 to 2009, Dr. Hyman held academic appointments at The Yale University School of Medicine, first as a NIH Postdoctoral Fellow and then as a faculty rank Associate Research Scientist. He was a member of the Yale Stress Center and Interdisciplinary Research Consortium on Stress, Self-Control, and Addiction (IRCSSA), which conducts cutting edge, interdisciplinary research to examine the biological and psychological mechanisms underlying human responses to stress and the role of self-control in driving unhealthy and addictive behaviors. His scholarly work has been primarily concerned with understanding the links between stress, traumatic stress, coping styles, drug cravings, and the course of substance use disorders, and he has authored numerous articles and book chapters in these and other areas including publications in The American Psychologist, The APA Handbook of Trauma Psychology, Psychology of Addictive Behaviors, and The American Journal of Psychotherapy. In addition to his scholarly activities, he also functioned as a clinician, educator, and supervisor providing psychotherapy to substance dependent and dually diagnosed individuals at the Substance Abuse Treatment Unit (SATU) of the Connecticut Mental Health Center (CMHC) and teaching medical students and psychology trainees at Yale University. From 2013-2016, he served as a Research Scientist within the Department of Psychiatry at The University of Miami-Miller School of Medicine directing NIH-funded medication trials for substance addictions. He has been a Professor in the Doctoral Clinical Psychology Program at Albizu University from 2009 to the present and serves as the program’s Addiction Psychology Concentration Coordinator.

He is the recipient of a NIH Loan Repayment Award for Clinical Researchers, a NIDA Women and Gender Junior Investigator Travel Award, a NIH T32 Ruth L. Kirchstein National Research Service Award (NRSA), and a Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) grant to train doctoral psychology students in the evaluation and treatment of substance use disorders in integrated care settings.
