About Me
Understanding personaliity is my passion, birth order is the means. I am a United Methodist Minister doing psychotherapy through the Upper Des Moines Counseling Center, Inc. of Algona, Iowa. In 1970 I discovered new dimensions to Birth Order that went beyond the usual concept. Psychotherapy based on this birth order has proven effective. I have written seven books, five of them about birth order.Recent Entries
