Ran is a Doctor of Clinical Psychology who specializes in CBT for OCD, anxiety disorders, and specifically Relationship OCD (ROCD). He is part of a clinical research team that focuses on developing, advancing, and making ROCD treatment accessible.
Ran's research interests revolve around exploring the profound impact of OCD and ROCD on individuals' lives and relationships. In addition, he studies mechanisms of cognitive control, particularly in situations where conflicting task
demands arise, such as the interplay between stimulus-driven and goal-directed processes.
