New York District Branch prize for paper written by a resident, the Psychiatric Institute Alumni Prize for best research performed by Psychiatric Institute Resident, the Public Health Service Commendation Medal, the Anna Monika Foundation Award for Depression Research, the Public Health Service Outstanding Service Award and the David Lynch Foundation lifetime achievement award for public health. He is often cited in mainstream media as an expert on the topic of SAD. He continues to treat patients with SAD and to coach executives and other professionals. Rosenthal has written more than 200 scholarly publications and his writings have been featured in the American Journal of Psychiatry, Psychiatry Research, Archives of General Psychiatry, Biological Psychiatry, Molecular Psychiatry, and Journal of Affective Disorders. Collaborating with Eric Finzi, Rosenthal found that botulinum toxin (botox) injected into the muscles of the forehead produced antidepressant effects in people with depression. Later he collaborated with Sanford Nidich and colleagues on a comparison of TM versus prolonged exposure in veterans with PTSD at the San Diego VA. Earlier that year, Rosenthal published preliminary research on the potential influence of TM on posttraumatic stress disorder. In 2011, he published Transcendence: Healing and Transformation Through Transcendental Meditation, which was listed on the New York Times' Best Sellers: Hardcover Advice, How-To And Miscellaneous list.

Then 35 years later, after one of his patients had a dramatic improvement as a result of TM, he began practicing again and then began recommending it to his patients.

Įarly in his career, Rosenthal learned the Transcendental Meditation technique while in South Africa, but found that as a medical student and a medical resident he didn't have time to practice. He received a special recognition award from the Society for Light Treatment & Biological Rhythms (SLBTR) in 1999 and published the book The Emotional Revolution: How the New Science of Feeling Can Transform Your Life in 2002.
