Present Specialty

Couples Therapy:  Since 1989, I have studied extensively under Harville Hendrix, Ph.D. in New York who founded the Imago International Institute (III) and innovated the theory of couples therapy called Imago Relationship Therapy (IRT).  My wife, Francine C. Beauvoir, Ph.D., also a licensed psychologist practices with me and we put on weekend workshops for couples regularly in the United States, New Zealand, and France.  We are both Certified Imago Relationship Therapists and Workshop Presenters, and are on the faculty of the Imago International Institute where I am a master trainer and the dean of the faculty.

 

Theoretical Orientation

I practice Imago Relationship Therapy, which is a unique blend of Psychodynamic, Gestalt, and Cognitive/Behavioral Therapy.  IRT sees the committed, intimate relationship as the best place to realize the deepest levels of growth and healing.  IRT is the only form of therapy I choose to practice.  As a psychotherapist, I desire to facilitate clients to find healing from childhood wounds, to eliminate debilitating symptoms, to realize personal potential and creative expression, and to experience wholeness and full aliveness. For more information about this form of therapy, read Harville Hendrix's best seller called, "Getting The Love You Want:  A Guide For Couples."  M. Scott Peck says of it, "I know of no better guide for couples who genuinely desire a maturing relationship."

                Even though I have had a theological education, I am a secular humanist and seek to discover an understanding of the world through scientific inquiry and the use of reason.  I see life as meaningful and am committed to moral principles that are derived from critical intelligence and human experience, pursuing positive ideals.

 

Other work and interests

I owned and operated a commercial salmon fishing boat in Bristol Bay, Alaska, from 1957 to 2000.  I am co-owner of Applied Motion, Inc., which developed the Spring Walker (www.springwalker.com).  I was raised in China and married my French wife in Paris in 1966
