DICK'S BIO


Dick Wulf, MSW, LCSW

Licensed Psychotherapist
Marriage and Family Skills Trainer and Coach
Team and Small Group Effectiveness Trainer & Consultant

Dick has over 43 years of experience as a psychotherapist and in small group and team leadership. He is still in practice in Colorado Springs, Colorado and helps families, marriages and individuals.

Dick received his B.A. in Social Welfare from the University of California at Berkeley in 1965. His Masters Degree in Social Work comes from the Columbia University School of Social Work in New York City (1967), where his major course of study was Group Work.

Dick's work with groups in the South Bronx of New York City was the one student example of group work presented to all the professional group work community of New York City in 1967. It was then published in the book The Practice of Group Work edited by William Schwartz, the originator of the group work model Dick teaches.

Dick has used the group work skills he learned to break ground in many areas, including stopping homosexual rape completely for four years at the military maximum security prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. He also used group work (therapy) to help the angriest, most assaultive prisoners leave solitary confinement and get on with their lives.

Dick Wulf moved to Colorado Springs in 1969 to be a group therapist at the Pikes Peak Mental Health Center. Soon, Dick became the Program Director of the Pikes Peak Mental Health Center, supervising the clinical programs of all 26 offices.

While at Pikes Peak Mental Health, Dick also served on many community councils, boards and governmental committees, often as the chairperson. Dick has consulted to many organizations, often where team dysfunction threatened either survival of a company or huge lawsuits.

Dick has been president of the Pleasant Valley Neighborhood Association in Colorado Springs twice – for a total of 8 years. He has also been active in church leadership positions.

In 1983, Dick authored a book titled Find Yourself - Give Yourself. He is also the designer of the role-playing game DragonRaid.

Dick and his wife Jean, also a psychotherapist, have The Great Relationships Store which publishes relationship-building products.

Dick and Jean married in 1965. They have three daughters and four grandsons.
