EW #377 MD, has twenty-five years of service as a distinguished patient care-focused clinician and as senior clinical faculty at Harvard Medical School. He is co-Director of the Program in Psychiatry & the Law, Associate Professor of Psychiatry, and Principal Mentor for students at Harvard Medical School. He is the author of numerous articles in leading medical and psychiatric journals, as well as of books praised by reviewers in journals such as the New England Journal of Medicine, Journal of the American Medical Association, and American Journal of Psychiatry. At Harvard Medical School he serves as faculty for the Intensive Diagnostic Interviewing preparatory course for the national board examinations in psychiatry and neurology, teaching the process of differential diagnosis. He acts as a peer reviewer both for medical journals and in providing second medical opinions. His clinical and consultative practice includes being a doctors doctor, and forensically he has served as an advisory panel member on standards of reliability for expert testimony in medicine and mental health. He teaches, consults, and publishes concerning neuropsychiatric diagnosis and forensic psychiatric evaluation of psychiatric and medical malpractice claims, as well as about informed consent and decision making in the physician-patient relationship.

Hisclinical, teaching, and forensic experience includes neuropsychiatric evaluation of standards of care in psychiatric and medical practice, maintenance of appropriate professional boundaries and ethics, brain injury, pain and addictions, post-traumatic stress disorder, the reasonableness of employment-related accommodations, criminal responsibility and diminished capacity (including mitigation in sentencing, as in death penalty cases), the adequacy of informed consent and standards for experts in pharmaceutical product liability cases, the role of the physician and the patients assumption of risk in addiction to prescribed medications, specific areas of competence evaluation (e.g., to stand trial or to dispose of property), differentiating neuropsychiatric impairments from misattribution and malingering, and differentiating reasonable perceptions from motivationally biased attributions of harassment and discrimination.
