The Alienist is an expert in the burgeoning field of psychology, especially concerning the mind, motives and pathology of criminals.

The Alienist has an uncanny ability to get into the heads of those they encounter, their keen perception and insight can be quite unnerving, and a lot of people are distrustful of those who practice this field of medicine, believing them to be tricksters and charlatans.

Alienists are trained physicians, and consider their field to be as important and as valid form of medicine as any other.
