Ron
Farmer was born in Australia, graduating
from the University of Queensland with first class Honours followed by a Ph.D
in Psychology. After a year at the Menninger Foundation in Topeka, Kansas,
Ron played a leading role in bringing Behaviour Therapy to Australia
At
the peak of his professional career as a lecturer at the University of New
South Wales, Ron suffered a catastrophic nervous breakdown which was to set the course for his future life and work.
Recognising
that present-day psychology had little to offer those who were suffering, Ron
began developing new procedures which were more effective. These approaches proved
so popular that requests for help outpaced his personal availability. Out
of this need, the first Self Help Therapy recordings were born
ON-LINE
HELP
Ron's
wife, Suwanti, grew up in Indonesia before training in Germany and
United Kingdom as a clinical psychologist. With their common interest in the teachings
of the ancient spiritual masters, they began refining Ron's therapeutic approaches
by blending more 'soul' into them. The results were truly astounding.
Translating
the techniques into a self-help format became their top priority. The
present series of CDs is the culmination of that endeavour.
