Raphael J. Becvar, retired endowed chair in marital and family therapy, was a licensed psychologist, licensed marriage and family therapist, and an approved supervisor with many years of experience in both academic and private practice contexts. He has authored and co-authored many books and articles in professional journals. His particular focus is on philosophical/metaperspectives on mental health and the practice of therapy and a widely recognized teacher of systems theory and family therapy. Dorothy Stroh Becvar, Professor Emerita in the School of Social Work at St. Louis University, was a licensed marital and family therapist, and a licensed clinical social worker. She published extensively and presented workshops and taught courses, both nationally and internationally, on a wide variety of topics. She was also president/CEO of the Haelan Centers(R), a not-for-profit corporation dedicated to promoting growth and wholeness in body, mind, and spirit. Dorothy died on August 31, 2021. Lynne Reif, licensed professional counselor, began her career working with at-risk youth in the foster care system. In 2000 she became a middle school counselor and continues in that role today. Lynne has extensive background in working with children and families and was a part of the Leadership Team that created and ran the Empowering Young Women conferences hosted by the University of Missouri St. Louis for 20 years. In 2012, she traveled to Uganda to co-teach a first of its kind course in school counseling to educators there, and to work with girls in the schools. This experience significantly expanded her cultural awareness and understanding of the significance of context in the lives of children.
