About the Author
He received a B.A. and a Bachelor of Divinity degree at Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, Missouri. After receiving the degree of Master of Sacred Theology, he was called to serve as pastor of St. Paul's Lutheran Church, St. Louis. In 1956, he began serving a Lutheran Parish in Pleasant Hill, California.
In 1963, Backus was awarded the generous Wheat Ridge Scholarship for psychological studies, and in 1969 received the Ph.D. degree in Clinical Psychology from the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis.
After five years on the staff of Hennepin County General Hospital, Minneapolis, Minnesota, where he directed a program of training for clergymen of the area, Backus founded the Center for Christian Psychological Services.
Dr. Backus has conducted follow-up studies of his clients that show a 95% improvement rate, compared to a 67% success rate for other methods of therapy. The difference, Dr. Backus says, is "discovering our misbelief and replacing it with truth."
In addition, he serves as an assistant pastor on the staff of North Heights Lutheran Church, Roseville, Minnesota, where he has founded and directed a lay-staffed free counseling clinic.
Dr. Backus has authored several books, including Telling Yourself the Truth and Why Do I Do What I Don't Want to Do? with Marie Chapian, Telling the Truth to Troubled People, and Finding the Freedom of Self-Control. His latest book, Untwisting Twisted Relationships, offers help to those who would like to mend relationships that have been damaged or broken.
Backus lives with his wife, Candy, in Minnesota. The four Backus children have established homes in various parts of the midwest.
Candace Backus is vice-president of Minnesota PsychTests, Inc., a computerized psychological testing service for counselors, therapists, and pastors.
She is also a lecturer, teacher, and speaker. She has taught Bible studies, women's retreats, and family conferences. In her teaching on the family, Candace brings an encouraging perspective to parents who find themselves in nearly hopeless family situations, and gives effective principles to help in restoring broken ties with family and friends.
Candace has co-authored books on the family along with her husband, Christian psychologist Dr. William Backus. Untwisting Twisted Relationships is a guide to restoring strong, intimate relationships with family and friends through applying biblical truth. What Did I Do Wrong? What Can I Do Now? gives practical biblical help to parents of troubled teens. Empowering Parents and Teaching Your Children to Tell Themselves the Truth are their latest books.
Candace Backus and her husband live in Minnesota.
