Psychotherapy Bios: The Lineage and History of Clinical Healing
To practice therapy is to participate in a century-long conversation about the nature of the soul. We maintain this archive of psychotherapy biographies and historical research to honor the pioneers—from the depth psychologists of the 19th century to the systems biologists of today—who mapped the interior world.
Archive Curated & Reviewed By:

The Architects of the Human Soul
Our archive tracks the evolution of treatment models through the lives of their founders. By understanding the biographical context of these thinkers, we gain deeper insight into the different models of psychotherapy used in our Hoover clinic today.
The Pioneers of Depth
- Carl Jung: The journey into the collective unconscious.
- Irvin Yalom: The life and work of the existential master.
- Heinz Kohut: Revolutionizing the psychology of the Self.
The Biological Revolution
- Peter Levine: The somatic approach to trauma.
- Mark Solms: Reclaiming the soul through neuropsychoanalysis.
- Eugene Gendlin: The biographical timeline of the felt sense.
