About us
Who we are
The DBR Foundation, is a newly established Scottish charity. Founded by Dr. Frank Corrigan MD, FRC Psych, with a career spanning over 30 years as an NHS Consultant Psychiatrist in Scotland. Dr Corrigan combined his extensive clinical experience with research on the neurobiology of trauma and it's underpinnings in major psychiatric disorders.
His research broadly explored the intersection between affective Neuroscience and the science of healing, culminating in the development of Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR)®. This psychotherapeutic approach emphasises the importance of tracking a distinctive neurophysiological sequence embedded in 'deep brain' systems. One of the most unique aspects of DBR as a trauma-focussed therapy is the embodiment of a natural healing process that is consonant with the evolutionary process of the developing brain and nervous system.
The DBR Foundation's values are:
- The improvement of health by furthering the advancement of the theory and practice of Deep Brain Reorienting ('DBR')
- The relief of emotional and psychological distress wherever it may arise by the provision of appropriate DBR training and therapy
- The relief of poverty and distress wherever it may arise by provision of humanitarian aid, by supporting other like-minded charities
