The Institute is engaged
in "partnering" activities with a range of
organizations. We have joined forces with various universities,
business organizations, private foundations, professional
associations, and institutes to generate programs of
joint interest.
We offer partnering possibilities that may include
the services of only a handful of Taos representatives,
up to the participation of the full Taos team. If you
have a project for which partnering would be a promising
possibility, please contact our CEO, Kenneth
Gergen.
Taos partners have included, for example, Benedictine
University, the University of New Hampshire, Louvain
University, The Institute for Creative Change, The Houston-Galveston
Institute for Family Therapy, and the GEM training program
for NGO leaders at Case Western Reserve.
 Tom
Strong is a psychologist and counsellor-educator with
the Division of Applied Psychology at the University
of Calgary. Until recently Tom practiced social constructionist,
or discursive, approaches to therapy in northwestern
British Columbia but his curiosity and love of ideas
related to collaborative change overtook him. His research
and writing now focuses on the collaborative and ethical
potentials and practicalities he sees afforded by discursive
approaches to psychotherapy. Co-editor (with David Paré)
of the recent book Furthering talk: Advances in the
discursive therapies (Kluwer Academic/Plenum), editorial
board member with the Journal of Systemic Therapies
and New Therapist, Tom also teaches with Massey University's
(New Zealand) online Postgraduate Program in Discursive
Therapies. For more information on Tom's work and affiliations
