A forensic psychiatrist in my spare time, I am also author of a half a dozen books (novels to textbooks and apparently commercial enough to earn me guest shots on Oprah, Larry King, and the rest), two well received stage plays, a screenplay option (these last two brought me WGA membership) and countless articles – I suspect I am the only writer on this planet to have been published in both the Wall Street Journal and Cosmopolitan magazine. Of late I have been occasional story consultant to the current Hawaii Five-O television series.
