Barry and Janae are devoted partners, parents of four children between them, grandparents of three, lifelong teachers, cosmologists, developmental psychologists and licensed mental health professionals.
As part of their quest for higher consciousness and their desire to understand evolution at all levels, they have traveled extensively, lived abroad twice and studied a broad array of topics and subjects that helped them create Developmental Systems Theory, Developmental Process Work and the Partnership Way of resolving conflicts.
Their discovery of Developmental Trauma and its impact on the evolution of individuals, couples, families, groups, cultures, nation-states and the human species provided them with a unique lens for viewing, understanding and modifying the underlying templates that guide these interlocking systems. Their research comes out of their "laboratory" . . . their personal development and their 25 year relationship, their many years of teaching at the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs, their clinical work with clients and their interactions with their families-of-origin.
In 1987 they co-founded their nonprofit, tax-exempt institute, now the Carolina Institute for Conflict Resolution Creative Leadership (CICRCL), where they house their diverse array of interests, programs and projects: children's mental health, the Kindness Campaign, ebooks on Breaking Free of the Matrix, training for mental health professionals, coaching and therapy intensives and many of the nearly 40 books they have authored or co-authored on co-dependency, counter-dependency, conflict resolution, family counseling, relationships and developmental psychology.
Barry and Janae live in the Blue Ridge mountains near Asheville, North Carolina. Barry is an avid tennis player and fly fisherman. Janae also plays tennis, gardens and tends her African violets and orchids. Both are also long-time meditators, yoga practitioners and enjoy hiking, listening to music, teaching, writing and staying current with their friends.

Testimonial:
"If you are thinking about reading Barry and Janae's books, or working with them on an intensive, do it. Just do it. I am alive like I have never been alive before. I am working on all of the fears that I kept to myself, and some hidden from myself for all those years. He taught me how to help myself, and how to ask for help from the right people. Barry did for me what Grandfathers used to do for little boys. He pointed down a path and said, "This is the way, and I've been there. Don't worry, I'm right here with you."
