Don Ferguson

I was born in southern Illinois but raised in Chicago. Taft High School on the northwest side of Chicago began my higher education, but the U.S. Army took over with some finishing points. I served in Germany where I met my wife, which makes the Army and Germany the best things that could have happened to me. I received my Bachelors degree from the University of Maryland, European Division in 1978. My Masters is from Boston University, European Division, 1980 and my Ph.D. is from the University of Kansas, 1987.

My degrees are all in Psychology and I have wanted to be a clinician since shortly after leaving the Army. The military experience had a deep impact on me in many ways. I continue to be enthralled with the work of therapy and astonished at the struggle and courage, I see daily. I have worked also in clinical leadership roles and still offer seminars on organizational relationships. Many of the principles outlined in my book about couples, were refined in working with organizations as well as couples.
