He obtained his Ph.D. in psychology with a specialization in school psychology from the University of Texas at Austin. Dr. Jewell completed a one-year internship with the Nebraska Internship Consortium in Professional Psychology, and was placed at Father Flanagan's Boy's Home in Omaha, Nebraska. This internship training was within the inpatient treatment facility for children and adolescents, and focused on consultation with schools, foster families, and administration, individual and family therapy, psychoeducational and psychological assessment, and research.

Dr. Jewell's previous and current research has focused on two primary areas. The first research area concerns the etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of youth diagnosed with Conduct Disorder. The second research interest is in the effects of the family environment, parenting style, and discipline practices on children's mental health and the development of psychopathology. Dr. Jewell is currently involved in a research project that examines the effects of parent and teacher discipline incongruity and children's behavior in the home and classroom. He is also in the process of designing two questionnaires, one which would measure the family environment while the other would measure teachers' discipline styles.
