John Murphy

Project Leader & Trainer at Better Outcomes Now

Dr. Murphy is a Professor of Psychology at the University of Central Arkansas (USA), practitioner, author of several books on client-directed/strengths-based therapy, and consultant/trainer to national and international groups that include the North American Chinese Psychological Association (NACPA), the American Counseling Association (ACA), and the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP). His goal is to help people change with dignity by honoring their unique wisdom, strengths, and other resources. As much as he has learned from his teachers and mentors, the greatest lessons about helping people change have come from the clients themselves. For Dr. Murphy, there is no greater privilege than being invited into people’s lives to help them grow and change in valued directions.
