Dick Wulf, MSW has over 37 years of experience as a psychotherapist and in small group and team leadership. He 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 is 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 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 prison at Leavenworth. He also used group work (therapy) to help the angriest 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. He ran ten therapy groups a week and did his share of new client intakes. Dick more than doubled the size of PPMHC when, in 1972, two grants were funded for two programs bringing 60 new mental health professionals and support staff on board. Eventually, Dick became the Program Director of the Pikes Peak Mental Health Center. Dick utilized his small group leadership skills in program design, supervision, and project management to help with the building of PPMHC from one office to twenty-six.
While Dick was with Pikes Peak Mental Health, Dick was a field instructor for the Denver University School of Social Work. Every one of the second-year students in the group work program assigned to him won the Best Group Worker Award for their skillful work at PPMH. The one and only Administrative sequence student supervised by Dick won the Most Outstanding Social Work Graduate Award.
While at Pikes Peak Mental Health, Dick also served on many community councils, boards and governmental committees, often as the chairperson.
Dick has also consulted where team dysfunction threatened either survival of a company or huge lawsuits.
In 1983, Dick authored a book titled Find Yourself - Give Yourself. It went through three printings and was one of the top five finalists for the Gold Medalion Award. Dick has consulted to many organizations.
Dick is also the designer of the game DragonRaid.
