The Disclosure Foundation has appointed clinical psychologist, author, and Future Directed Therapy developer Jennice Vilhauer, PhD, to its Advisory Board.
The Disclosure Foundation today announced the appointment of Jennice Vilhauer, PhD, a clinical psychologist, author, and developer of Future Directed Therapy, to its Advisory Board. Her appointment expands the Board's expertise in psychology, human behavior, and the social dimensions of disclosure.
Dr. Vilhauer is the author of Think Forward to Thrive: How to Use the Mind's Power of Anticipation to Transcend Your Past and Transform Your Life. Her work examines how expectations shape emotional health, decision-making, and the ability to move beyond past experience toward constructive future-directed action.
She has more than two decades of clinical and organizational experience. Dr. Vilhauer has led outpatient psychotherapy programs at Emory Healthcare and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, worked in executive assessment and leadership development at Korn Ferry International, and contributed as a featured expert for Psychology Today. She completed her undergraduate training in psychology at UCLA, earned her doctorate at Fordham University, and completed postdoctoral training in clinical research at Columbia University.
Psychology and the Human Dimensions of Disclosure
Questions surrounding unidentified anomalous phenomena are not only questions of science and policy. They also involve how individuals, institutions, and communities process uncertainty, revise expectations, and respond to potentially consequential information. Dr. Vilhauer's expertise will help inform the Foundation's public education work and its broader consideration of the psychological dimensions of disclosure.
Dr. Vilhauer has also been appointed to the UAP Science Advisory Council, an expert group assembled to advise the U.S. government on the study of unidentified anomalous phenomena. She contributes expertise in quantitative psychology and the psychological dimensions of potential disclosure.
Her addition reflects the Disclosure Foundation's commitment to multidisciplinary advisory leadership as it advances Policy Leadership, Legal Action, and Public Education.
