Harville Hendrix, Ph.D. and Helen LaKelly Hunt, Ph.D. are partners in life and work. They believe that how we interact with each other, in all contexts – family, workplace, schools etc. – is the key to our emotional, physical and economic well-being and to the well-being of our children and society. Together, they are committed to the transformation of relationships and to the evolution of a relational culture. 

They are the co-creators of Imago Relationship Theory & Therapy, which has spread globally through Imago Relationships International, and now renamed Imago Relationships Worldwide, an organization that has trained over 2,500 therapists in over 53 countries. They are also co-creators, with other relational therapists, scientists, and business professionals, of Relationships First® a non-profit organization that contributes to the creation of a relational culture through the distribution of new insights from the relational sciences, and through Safe Conversations® - a city-wide experiment in Dallas, Texas. 

Harville and Helen continue to work with Imago and make it available in workshops, training programs, lectures, seminars and books. They are the authors of three New York Times best sellers (Getting the Love You Want; Keeping the Love You Find; and Giving the Love That Heals), Making Marriage Simple, and six other books. The Space Between was released in 2017 and their latest release is the revised and updated edition of Getting the Love You Want, which hit newsstands January 22, 2019. They are working on a new professional text on Imago theory and therapy. 

Harville was a couple's therapist with more than 40 years' experience as an educator, clinical trainer and lecturer whose work has appeared on Oprah 17 times.
