Personal Statement

I am a Professor in Psychiatry with three board certifications; General Psychiatry, Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, and Forensic Psychiatry. Since joining the UCLA faculty in November 2007, I have served as the Director of Child Forensic Services and the psychiatrist appointed to the LAC Juvenile Mental Health Court. Since 2011, I have assisted the LAC Juvenile Court system in developing a more evidenced based protocol for the determination of juvenile adjudicative competency and have been consulting on a range of issues related to programs concerning juvenile legal system-involved youth. In 2012, I was awarded NIH funding with my mentor (PI, Milburn) to adapt STRIVE, a family-based intervention, and examine its efficacy in an RCT in reducing substance use, HIV risk-taking behaviors and delinquency in youth probationers as they transition from incarceration back to the community.

Biography

Dr. Bari specializes in the neurosurgical repair and restoration of brain and nerve function. Following his neurosurgery residency training at UCLA, Dr. Bari was awarded the prestigious William P. Van Wagenen Fellowship to train at the world-renowned functional neurosurgery program at the University of Toronto. He has extensive clinical and research experience in the use of deep brain stimulation (DBS) in the treatment of both movement and psychiatric disorders. Dr. Bari’s clinical practice includes DBS surgery for Parkinson’s disease, tremor, dystonia, depression and OCD. In addition, his clinical practice includes neurosurgery for brain tumors, pain, and peripheral nerve disorders.

Dr. Bari’s research focuses on an interdisciplinary approach to studying the neurobiology underlying movement and psychiatric disorders and expanding the frontiers of neurosurgery to treat those disorders. As a part of his fellowship training, Dr. Bari studied the relationship between the motor and reward systems of the brain and the use of deep brain stimulation to modify and enhance them. A native of California, Dr. Bari completed his neurosurgery residency training at UCLA after receiving his MD and PhD degrees from Boston University. He completed his undergraduate training at UC Berkeley in the field of neurobiology.
