About Script/Technical Consulting
To create compelling and realistic characters, television and film executives rely on the expertise of psychologists. Psychological consultants help writers and directors determine what people do in specific situations, and why they behave in the ways that they do. They also help writers understand human behavior and motivation to create well-developed roles.
For over a decade, Dr. Gardenswartz has helped film and television professionals to bridge the gap between the entertainment industry and psychology. In addition to assisting in the development and progression of characters, she has been integral in maintaining the accuracy of emotional and psychological actions and reactions of characters as well as the portrayals and actions of mental health professionals such as therapists and psychiatrists.
