Biographical Sketch for Russell L. Smith, M.S.

Russell L. Smith, M.S. is a Licensed Psychological Associate (LPA), Certified Health Services Provider-Psychological Associate (HSP-PA), and a Nationally Certified Psychologist (NCP).

Russell has over 30 years of experience developing and implementing individual, group, and system wide programs, from the back wards of large mental institutions ... to state-of-the-art programs for criminal populations ... to community based programs for special populations (e.g., dually diagnosed, Developmental Disabilities, Autism). Russell developed the cognitive-behavioral-existential model first known as Behavioral Relativity, now known as BRACE™ --- i.e., Behavioral Relativity And Cognitive Economics. BRACE™ has been successfully implemented in both public and private, for-profit and not-for-profit service delivery systems. Russell also developed the BRACE Character Profile™ and the BRACE™ Work Adjustment Profile. Various applications of the BRACE™ model have been presented at the local, state, and national levels (e.g., addictive processes, executive management, crime prevention, therapeutic horticulture). Russell’s interests are reflected in the BRACE™ model, which extends the basic principles of learning to the domain of the imagination. Russell’s current focus, the BRACE Character Profile™, was as much influenced by the ancient wisdom of Solomon as it was by either Pavlov or Skinner. Human nature has not changed much in the last 3000 years.

See Bryan Nelson has an exceptional website that includes a BRACE Character Profile™ analysis of the BTK Strangler which was posted on the internet in MAY of 2004, nine months before he was identified as Dennis Lynn Rader. The input ratings for the profile were posted by members of the Message Board at www.DeviantCrimes.com. Approximately one year after Dennis Lynn Rader’s arrest, the administrator of the Crime and Justice forum developed a consensus set of BRACE Character Profile™ input ratings from three C&J forum members who have good knowledge of Dennis Lynn Rader’s criminal and public history. On February 17, 2006, the comparison analysis of known Dennis Lynn Rader’s BRACE Character Profile™ with the original profile of  UNSUB BTK was completed.

See http://www.deviantcrimes.com/BRACEindex.htm for these profiles and other BRACE Character Profile resources and profiles.

The novel Dancing In The Dark has been published by Amber Quill Press. Before reading Dancing In The Dark, Russell profiled its main characters as UNSUBS based on the input ratings of the author, T. D. McKinney, using the BRACE Character Profile™. Ms. McKinney was so impressed with the accuracy that she posted these UNSUB profiles in the Review section of her website,  www.tdmckinney.com
