Kasia Kozlowska

Kasia Kozlowska has gained worldwide prominence as a child and adolescent psychiatrist at The Children’s Hospital at Westmead, as Clinical Associate Professor at the University of Sydney Medical School, and as Associate Professor and Research Fellow at the Westmead Institute of Medical Research, University of Sydney. In her intertwined clinical and research roles, she heads a multidisciplinary consultation-liaison team, a research program for children with functional neurological disorder, and a program — the Mind-Body Program — for the treatment of children disabled by functional neurological symptoms. She and her team are committed to the close integration of research findings and clinical practice, and to making the products of their clinical work and research broadly available to other professionals. Her 2020 open access book, Functional Somatic Symptoms in Children and Adolescents: A Stress-System Approach to Assessment and Treatment, is a free resource available to clinicians, as are many of her clinical and research publications.
