letter from our founder
“Early in my career as a child support caseworker in a small Nebraska county, I began to realize that many people wanted good relationships but just didn’t know how to create and maintain them. This led me to mediation training, which eventually led me to family law. In this context I witnessed the strange phenomenon of failing marriages, hot-tempered custody disputes, and years of battling over the kids well beyond their childhood—known as high conflict divorce. On a quest to find solutions to this perplexing dilemma, I read an article in a mediation newsletter about personality disorders and high conflict disputes—the light bulb came on. I phoned the author, a lawyer and therapist named Bill Eddy, who quickly accepted my invitation to train the family court judges in my state. The rest, as they say, is history. He spoke, they listened. I left my position at the Arizona Supreme Court because I knew that people everywhere needed Mr. Eddy’s information.
His way of thinking about relationships and conflict between people was grounded in brain science, and it worked. Since then, we have been drawn to industry leaders and others who have important, life-improving information to share.
I’m humbled, grateful and proud to share their brain-space and offer their work to a broader audience around the planet. I hope you will enjoy our books!”
