Dr. Asher Strauss is a doctor of Clinical Psychology from the Department of Psychology at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. His research focuses on expanding cognitive and behavioral models (CBT) to understand and treat anxiety disorders and depression. Currently, He serves as a lecturer at the College of Management Academic Studies.

Specifically, his research focuses on the decision-making style of those suffering from obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), and the way in which special characteristics of this style contribute to the maintenance of the disorder.

Dr. Strauss has a broad interest in the development and utilization of internet platforms for research and the distribution of research-based psychological interventions (CBT and more) among the general public. As part of the Hoffman Scholarship Program for Cultivating Excellence and Responsibility, he was involved in forming a research group for the research and distribution of psychological interventions in Israel. These psychological interventions, developed in collaboration with researchers from Israel and the world, are currently being implemented in a joint project of the Ministry of Health and the health insurance funds to examine the implementation of online treatments in Israel.
