  Temple Times: Richard Heimberg wins Paul Eberman Faculty Research Award
It was 1980 when “social phobia” first appeared in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders and three years later, Heimberg received an NIMH grant to study the effectiveness of cognitive behavior therapy in treating social anxiety — the first NIMH-funded award for psychological treatment-oriented research of the disorder.
Since that first research study by Heimberg while he was on the faculty at SUNY-Albany (he came to Temple in 1996), he has been awarded three additional grants with funding totaling $5 million and has soared to the forefront of his field.
Heimberg acknowledges he has seen dramatic changes in the field — changes that were significantly driven by his own work.

  Stemming social phobia
Since Heimberg secured the first NIMH social phobia treatment research grant, such funding has been readily available because the condition is quite common: It's the third most prevalent mental disorder behind depression and alcoholism.
However, Heimberg suspects a combination of CBT and medication may prove most effective in preventing relapse--something he hopes to prove in his latest NIMH study with Michael Liebowitz, MD, of the New York State Psychiatric Institute, to be completed by 2007.
In Heimberg's CBT, the therapist gradually exposes clients to their feared social situations in real life, perhaps assigning a client to initiate a conversation with a person they don't know, ask someone out on a date or go on a job interview.

 Sealift -- Gone Fission: MSC ships test radiation detection
Peter Heimberg, a senior physicist with DOE's Remote Sensing Laboratory at Andrews Air Force Base in the Washington, D.C., region, said the study of the neutron ship effect was initiated in 2003.
Heimberg said, "We hope to develop tremendously sensitive equipment that can actually discern between the naturally occurring cosmic ray-induced background neutrons and those that should not be there — those of man-made sources.
Once USNS Mendonca was fully loaded, three scientists of Heimberg's team sailed with the ship and continued taking detailed neutron measurements with the spectrometers during the 11-day voyage to the island of Crete in the Mediterranean Sea.

Huddled around a speaker phone in Los Angeles with producers and writers, Heimberg and his fellow writers had precious minutes, as Stern traveled through New York City, to pitch their idea for a remake of the 1979 teen comedy Rock 'n' Roll High School.
Now living near his hometown of Gaithersburg, Maryland, Heimberg says the idea for the Movie Plot Generator developed during his five years in Los Angeles as he and his brother condensed their scripts to catch phrases and were also approached by producers to turn sketchy ideas into screenplays.
The Heimberg brothers shopped their book concept to a few publishers but soon decided to publish the book themselves, in small runs.

With a $1.2 million grant from the National Institute of Mental Health, Heimberg and researchers in Temple’s Adult Anxiety Clinic are helping people with social anxiety deal with their feelings of inadequacy and fear.
The therapy regimen, a treatment designed by Heimberg that is a form of cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), helps clients manage their feelings by more scientifically examining the thought processes that trigger them.
Then, through role playing, analyzing their thought processes and practicing cognitive skills, they are encouraged to “talk back” to their negative thinking and realize their fears are not supported by most of the evidence.
