Expert Profile: Jacob Spilman

Expertise:  I am interested in consulting with screenwriters who wish to obtain accurate psychological information for their screenplays. I can provide answers for a wide variety of mental health, social and therapy related issues: emotional disorders, personality disorders, alcoholism, drug abuse, divorce and blended family issues. I can also provide answers regarding hypnosis, sleep research and dreams. While I am happy to provide information on a variety of mental health topics for artistic and educational purposes, I do not wish to provide professional consultation for personal issues.

Experience in the area
I have a masters degree in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis on marriage, family and child counseling. I am also a non-fiction writer. I have taught at the graduate level at John F. Kennedy University and have provided therapy in a variety of public and private sector organizations.
