Dr. Suskind has often been asked to serve as a consultant in civil litigation matters. He sets aside a limited
amount of time for forensic consultations. Dr. Suskind has particular sensitivity and qualifications in the areas of
post-traumatic stress reactions, and psychological reactions experienced in the face of illness and body injury. This
results from his training in both psychiatry and surgery and from Dr. Suskind’s expertise as former Director of the
Mental Health Team at the San Diego & Imperial County Regional Burn Treatment Center. He has taught classes on post-traumatic
stress disorder, somatoform disorders, conversion reactions, and reactions to trauma, pain and disfiguring injuries.
Dr. Suskind’s training and orientation emphasize normal human development and functioning. Medical-Legal reports,
consultations and testimony strive to portray situations or individuals via a straightforward and non-jargon context, so that
people can understand the person, and not just the pathology involved. Dr. Suskind is very actively involved in teaching
psychiatry, psychotherapy and psychoanalysis and in his clinical practice. Dr. Suskind serves as a QME, AME and IME
for the California WCAB.
