About Ellyn and Peter.

Dr. Ellyn BaderFor more than 20 years, Drs. Ellyn Bader and Peter Pearson have been helping couples resolve issues and create strong, loving relationships. They are considered by many to be the preeminent experts in couples therapy training in the world today. They are creators of The Developmental Model of Couples Therapy, and directors of The Couples Institute in Menlo Park, California. Their model teaches therapists how to diagnose, intervene and significantly help troubled relationships.

Ellyn and Peter are the authors of the classic text, In Quest of the Mythical Mate: A Developmental Approach to Diagnosis and Treatment in Couples Therapy. The California Association of Marriage & Family Therapists awarded the book the "Clark Vincent Award" for its outstanding contribution to the field of marital therapy. Their latest book, Tell Me No Lies gives therapists an effective tool to get couples therapy off to a powerful start. Dr. Peter Pearson

Ellyn and Peter maintain an active lecture and workshop schedule for both couples and professionals. Ellyn served as president of the International Transactional Analysis Association, and spent eight years on the Clinical Faculty at the Stanford University School of Medicine.

Ellyn and Peter are unusual among couples therapists in that they are a couple themselves and have confronted many of the challenges that they write and speak about.
