[edit] Biography

As the resident psychiatrist for the Special Victims Unit, Huang helps keep the officers sane in a field that could drive ordinary people mad. He has also served as the squad's resident criminal profiler, and his insights into the criminal mind have often helped the officers to crack the toughest perps. In addition, he has occasionally (and with some resentment) served as a translator for Chinese-speaking perps and victims.

A firm believer in human rights, Huang has often butted heads with Det. Elliot Stabler, who resents having to defer to the doctor's advice. One notable incident of this conflict came when Stabler exploited a schizophrenic perp's delusions to agitate him enough to justify drugging him. The drugs made the perp sane enough to divulge the location of a little boy he had kidnapped, but Huang believed it was unjustified.
