When Dr. Monique M. Chouraeshkenazi first began exploring the unseen connection between trauma, the brain, and behavior, few could have predicted that her work would one day redefine an entire field. From her early days serving in the U.S. Air Force to her leadership at The Chouraeshkenazi Group (TCG), she has dedicated her life to understanding the invisible wounds of trauma and the intricate ways they shape human behavior. Now, with the upcoming release of her groundbreaking three-volume series, Forensic Neuropsychopathology: Clinical & Medical Insights into Brain-Behavior, Mental Disorders, and the Law, Dr. Chouraeshkenazi is solidifying her place as the foremost voice at the intersection of neuroscience, psychology, and justice.
From the Battlefield to the Brain: A Mission Rooted in Service
Dr. Chouraeshkenazi’s career began on the front lines of global conflict. As a U.S. Air Force combat veteran, she experienced firsthand the toll that trauma and moral injury take on service members. That experience became the foundation for her life’s mission: to transform how society understands, evaluates, and treats trauma-related mental health challenges.
At The Chouraeshkenazi Group, she and her team bring together decades of research, field experience, and clinical expertise to offer trauma-informed care and forensic neuropsychological services that go beyond diagnosis. TCG’s mission is clear, to deliver culturally competent, scientifically rigorous, and ethically grounded evaluations that uncover the full human story behind each case.
Redefining the Field: The Birth of Forensic Neuropsychopathology
Dr. Chouraeshkenazi isn’t just contributing to a new field, she defined it. Forensic neuropsychopathology is her brainchild: a discipline that explores how neurological and psychological factors shape cognition, behavior, and accountability within legal systems.
Through The Chouraeshkenazi Group, she applies this framework to real-world cases, helping legal, medical, and educational institutions understand the brain-behavior relationship with unprecedented precision. TCG’s services include forensic consultation, psychological and neuropsychological assessments, and expert witness testimony, each informed by the latest advances in neuroscience and psychology.
By bridging scientific insight with human empathy, TCG provides a new model for justice, one that recognizes the complexities of the mind and the impact of trauma on behavior.
The Three-Volume Series That’s Shaping the Future of the Field
On October 15, 2025, Dr. Chouraeshkenazi announced the launch of her Forensic Neuropsychopathology book series, a monumental achievement more than five years in the making. Published by Barnes & Noble Publishing, this three-volume series, Forensic Neuropsychopathology: Clinical & Medical Insights into Brain-Behavior, Mental Disorders, and the Law, represents the first formal framework for the field she pioneered.
Featuring a foreword by Dr. Judy Ho, PhD, ABPP, ABPDN, the series explores the neurobiological foundations of criminal behavior and their implications for law, ethics, and rehabilitation. Drawing from disciplines such as neuropsychology, psychiatry, neurology, and neurophysiology, Dr. Chouraeshkenazi presents a revolutionary model for integrating science into justice systems worldwide.
eBooks are now available on Amazon, and print copies will be officially released on November 6, 2025, through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other platforms. Readers can also view the official video trailer here or visit the author’s website at www.moniquechouraeshkenazi.com.
This series is more than a publication, it’s a movement. Across its volumes, Dr. Chouraeshkenazi examines the evolution of forensic neuropsychopathology, the ethical challenges of using neuroscience in the courtroom, and the transformative role of trauma-informed evaluation in advancing justice reform.
The Chouraeshkenazi Group: Where Science Meets Advocacy
At The Chouraeshkenazi Group, Dr. Chouraeshkenazi leads with a philosophy rooted in integrity, empathy, and service. The organization’s foundation lies in three guiding principles: service, science, and advocacy. Each client is met not just with diagnostic precision, but with respect and understanding.
TCG’s work extends far beyond the clinic. The group partners with universities, public institutions, and legal professionals to promote education, research, and awareness surrounding trauma and brain-behavior relationships. In doing so, they are helping to dismantle stigma, expand access to mental health services, and ensure that justice is informed by science, not assumption.
Recognition and Leadership
Dr. Chouraeshkenazi’s influence has been recognized both nationally and internationally. In 2024, she was nominated as Achiever of the Year by U.S. Forces in Business and named one of the Top 50 Fearless Leaders by the International Association of Professionals. Her leadership exemplifies how academic rigor and compassionate practice can coexist to change lives and systems alike.
As an international best-selling author, educator, and keynote speaker, she continues to elevate the conversation around trauma, neuroscience, and the law, empowering clinicians, legal professionals, and policymakers to think differently about mental health.
A Vision for the Future: Understanding as the Path to Healing
Dr. Chouraeshkenazi’s work represents more than a professional legacy, it’s a vision for the future. By uniting neuroscience, psychology, and justice, she is building a new foundation for understanding human behavior and promoting healing through truth and science.
Her message is simple yet powerful: understanding the brain is key to understanding ourselves, and each other. Through The Chouraeshkenazi Group and her pioneering body of research, Dr. Chouraeshkenazi is shaping a future where empathy and evidence guide both mental health and the justice system.
