I dedicate this website to the memory of L. Gerard Perusse, Ph.D. Gerard was dedicated to improving all of our lives through the spread of personal competence to lead successful lives in a democratic culture. He realized that we could not build and maintain a democratic culture without the required psychological and social skills. Thanks for your help and inspiration.

The building blocks of psychological competence upon which the content is built were designed and shaped by Drs Albert Bandura, Albert Einstein, Nelson Foote, Leonard Cottrell, Donald Glad, and Robert W. White.

To (and I’m sure I’ve left out some people):
Larry Blank, Jack Burr, Susan Hetrick, Richard Lentz, John Lewis, Marian Lewis, Victor Martin, Michael Meaghan

Thanks for your enthusiasm, trial runs, and applications of the way skills we worked on and practiced. You were the “Alpha Testers” I salute you.

To these colleagues and co-workers whose efforts supported and paralleled psychological competence training as a new way of helping people lead more satisfying lives: Lee A. Bohannon, Pamela Cordell, Cynthia Cieplick, Sue Davis, Michael Doolin, Sharon Hamil, Bill Hunt, Karen O’Connor, Allen Phillips, Marsha Unsell, Tracy Webb, Sherry Yowell
