Andrew G. Hodges

ANDREW G. HODGES, M.D., is a board-certified psychiatrist in private practice. Previously he was assistant clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of Alabama School of Medicine. Dr. Hodges has helped pioneer a breakthrough to the brilliant unconscious mind, which he explained in his 1994 groundbreaking book The Deeper Intelligence (which he now calls the “super intelligence”).

A noted forensic profiler, he developed his technique, “ThoughtPrint Decoding,” by accessing the unconscious super intelligence of suspects during criminal investigations, basing his analysis on verbatim testimony, transcripts of police interviews, letters and emails created by the suspects.

He discovered a deeper moral compass which prompts people to always tell the truth—between the lines—in the special symbolic language of the subconscious. His work added a whole new dimension to the forensic science of psycholinguistics. Law enforcement authorities nationwide, including the FBI, have requested his expertise in cases ranging from the high-profile disappearance of Natalee Holloway in 2005 to the murder of JonBenét Ramsey in 1996.

Dr. Hodges has written for a major FBI publication and presented his cutting-edge technique at a law enforcement conference at the FBI training facility in Quantico, Virginia. In addition to assisting criminal investigators, Dr. Hodges also applies his super-intelligence technique in the analysis of leaders who confess unconsciously when they are violating their deeper moral compass.

Dr. Hodges reveals how important spiritual issues are in the unconscious. He utilized decoding techniques to explore the human personality of Jesus Christ in his book, Jesus: An Interview Across Time—A Psychiatrist Looks at His Humanity (Bantam, 1988). Religion columnist Mike McManus called it “the most important book I’ve read besides the Bible.” Dr. Hodges has been interviewed extensively in print and broadcast, and has appeared on such programs as Fox’s “Hannity,” “Geraldo at Large,” CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360,” ABC’s “The View,” Primetime CNN (Nancy Grace), “Court TV Investigation,” and MSNBC’s “Morning Show,” He has also been featured in USA Today, the Chicago Tribune, and the San Francisco Chronicle.
