    Clinical Assistant Professor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences

    BioClincal:
    Dr. Jonathan Lee, MD, PhD (@ jonlee112) is a Clinical Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the Depression Clinic of Stanford University where he founded the "Am I Good? Examining life through the lenses of Philosophical Skepticism, Moral Philosophy, and Existentialism" philosophical psychotherapy group.

    Jonathan Lee, MD, PhD (@ jonlee112) practices psychiatry, including psychotherapy, at Stanford University. He utilizes psychopharmacology alongside a particular approach to philosophical therapy, which he has termed ‘Decompositionism‘. Decompositionism is an approach to philosophical psychotherapy, developed by Jonathan Lee, MD, PhD (@ jonlee112), which is informed by knowledge from neuroscience, psychology, and philosophy…

    Epistemology, Skepticism
    Metaphysics, Ontology
    Philosophy of Language
    Philosophy of Mind
    Moral Philosophy, Metaethics
    Existentialism

    …Decompositionism revolves around the use of analytical approaches aimed at decomposing cognitive concepts (words, phrases, thoughts, ideas, emotions, beliefs, etc) into their most fundamental components or features. Jonathan Lee, MD, PhD (@ jonlee112) designed Decompositionism to examine fundamental questions such as:

    What is truth? What is reality? How do we know what we know? How do our brains/minds learn?
    What actually exists in the universe?
    What do we mean by the words, phrases, and concepts that we invoke in daily life?
    What is right vs. wrong? What are our moral obligations?
    What is good vs. bad?
    What is the meaning of life? What is the point of life? What is the purpose of life?
    Does free will exist?

    Research:
    His research focuses on the causes and consequences of, as well as solutions to, rising skepticism and distrust in sources of expert information (e.g., science, health). He has a special interest in exploring skepticism and persuasion at the intersection of health and politics, which includes studying phenomena such as the politicization of science and health, political polarization, filter bubbles/echo chambers, the emerging post-truth world, and information warfare. It also includes seeking heteorgeneity in the findings across particular demographics at high socioeconomic and health risk. He draws on theories and methods from his uniquely interdisciplinary set of educational, research, and professional experiences, including those from experimental and behavioral economics, political science, psychology, philosophy, and machine learning. He is currently using machine learning-based text analytics to explore how trust/distrust in sources of expert information is discussed on traditional and social media -- followed by the use of online randomized controlled survey experiments to test the causal effects of particular persuasion strategies on perceptions of trust/distrust, as well as other important behavioral outcomes of interest.

    Julie Jung Hyun Lee

    Clinical Assistant Professor, Medicine - Primary Care and Population Health

    BioDr. Julie J. Lee is a Stanford physician board-certified in Internal Medicine, Obesity Medicine, and Clinical Informatics. Her work centers on two goals: (1) augmenting the human practice of medicine through technology and (2) advancing precision health through innovation in obesity medicine. She maintains an active clinical practice in primary care and obesity medicine to keep a pulse on changing clinical realities, ensuring that her work is grounded in real-world care and, whenever possible, co-designed and tested with the patients and care teams it is meant to serve.

    In clinical informatics, Dr. Lee focuses on how emerging technologies such as AI can augment clinicians while preserving clinical judgment. Her work spans clinical decision support, workflow redesign, and the responsible integration of technology into care. As Health Equity Informaticist in Stanford’s Division of Primary Care and Population Health, she also uses data and community engagement to advance more equitable care, including language-concordant care.

    In obesity medicine, Dr. Lee focuses on Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic (CKM) health and is curious about where the rapidly evolving science of obesity may lead, including its implications for cancer, inflammation, addiction, and healthy longevity. Her approach is informed by training in epidemiology and quantitative methods and prior work in chronic disease surveillance and women’s cardiovascular health. As Clinical Champion of the Stanford Metabolic Health Interventions and Lifestyle Empowerment Support (SMILES) Program, she is particularly interested in how primary care can thoughtfully integrate emerging therapeutics, technologies, and multidisciplinary care while building evidence for historically underserved and understudied populations.

    Across her work, health equity, ethics, and the medical humanities remain foundational. As an artist and musician first, the humanities keep her connected to the joy of medicine and her belief that advances in science and technology should protect and preserve the essence of original human creativity.
