Fisher, Ed.D.
Bruce
Fisher (1931-1998) developed the "rebuilding"
model of divorce recovery nearly 25 years ago. Founder and director of the
Family Relations Learning Center (Boulder, Colorado), he personally
trained thousands of individuals and therapists in this approach,
enriching the lives of hundreds of thousands worldwide. He was a highly
popular divorce therapist, author, and teacher, and a Clinical Member of
the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy. His "Fisher
Divorce Adjustment Scale" is an internationally recognized measure of
adjustment to the ending of a love relationship.
Bruce
grew up on a family farm in Iowa, was the first in his family to earn a
college degree, and went on to a doctorate from the University of Northern
Colorado in human development. His
dissertation research focused on the development of the Fisher Divorce
Adjustment Scale.
