Helen Smith is a forensic psychologist in Knoxville, Tennessee who specializes in violent children and adults. She holds a PhD from the University of Tennessee and masters degrees from The New School for Social Research and the City University of New York. She has written The Scarred Heart: Understanding and Identifying Kids Who Kill (Callisto Publishing, 2000; ISBN 0615112234) and was writer and executive producer of Six,[1] a documentary about the murder of a family in Tennessee by teens from Kentucky. The film highlights the inadequacies of the school, mental health and criminal justice systems in preventive treatment of troubled teens.

Dr. Smith hosts a regular program on the website Pajamas Television where she discusses social issues and psychology, with a particular emphasis on the problems and experiences of men. She has written widely on issues relating to violence, mental health, and the criminal justice system.[2] Among her articles is "Violence on Campus: Practical Recommendations for Legal Educators," published in the Oklahoma City Law Review.[3] After the Jonesboro, Arkansas school shootings, she testified to the Arkansas State Legislature regarding responses to school violence.[4]

Since September 2005, she has been writing on her own blog, Dr. Helen.

Personal life

Dr. Smith is married to Glenn Reynolds, a law professor and commentator. In addition to her own blog, Dr. Helen, she and her husband occasionally produce a podcast, Glenn and Helen Show.

Dr. Smith received an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator after suffering a heart attack at age 37.[5] She has frequently worked to increase awareness of heart problems among women.
