William Todd Schultz

William Todd Schultz (born c. 1969) is an American writer specializing in biographies and psychobiographies of artists, based in Portland, Oregon. Schultz received a BA in Philosophy and Psychology from Lewis and Clark College in 1985, an MA in Personality Psychology from the University of California in 1987, and a PhD in Personality Psychology from the University of California in 1993.[1]

Schultz's first psychobiographical subject was James Agee. Other early articles focused on Ludwig Wittgenstein,[2] Jack Kerouac,[3] Roald Dahl,[4] Franz Kafka, and Oscar Wilde.[5] In 2005, Schultz conceived and edited Oxford's Handbook of Psychobiography.[6] He curates Oxford's "Inner Lives" series,[7] consisting of personality profiles of provocative artists and historical figures.

Schultz has published three books, all on artists: "Tiny Terror: Why Truman Capote (Almost) Wrote Answered Prayers" (2011); "An Emergency in Slow Motion: The Inner Life of Diane Arbus" (2011); and "Torment Saint: The Life of Elliott Smith" (2013).

In 2015, Schultz was awarded the Erik Erikson Prize for Excellence in Mental Health Media.[8]
