The Bresler Center

The Bresler Center was established in 1989 by Dr. David Bresler, the founder and former Executive Director of the UCLA Pain Control Unit. Dr. Bresler was one of the first scientists to seriously investigate complementary and alternative medicine during his tenure as Associate Clinical Professor in the UCLA Schools of Medicine and Dentistry, and the UCLA Department of Psychology.

The Bresler Center provides state-of-the-art patient care utilizing a variety of mind/body medicine approaches. Its staff has particular expertise in treating anxiety and post-traumatic stress, chronic pain, depression, trauma, chronic fatigue, headaches, and addictions, and alcoholism. We work closely with several of the most outstanding physicians and allied health practitioners in Southern California. Staff members also conduct clinical research and teach a variety of courses for both health care professionals and the public.

Dr. Bresler has authored or co-authored over 250 scientific articles, textbook chapters, workbooks, CDs, DVDs and books in the fields of neuroscience, psychology, acupuncture, guided imagery, complementary and alternative medicine, consciousness and creative communication, and mind/body medicine.

His numerous radio and TV appearances have made him a well-known authority in the field of behavioral medicine, and he’s been featured or interviewed in many popular magazines, including Time, Newsweek, Reader's Digest, People, US, and Prevention.
