Abstract
In this interview, Drs. Russell Haber and Karen Cooper-Haber talk about their 30-year relationship with the field of marriage and family therapy, their significant moments and relationships in the profession, their hopes for future counselors, and their own evolution. Karen is a dynamic force filled with seemingly endless energy, creative ideas, and an immeasurable faith and love in those with whom she interacts. Although Russell seems more reserved, a look past the surface reveals an equally powerful and passionate force, committed to the profession, to creative and intentional use of theory, and to challenging students, professionals, families, and self. Together they are a perfectly balanced pair who have invested decades together into strengthening the field of marriage and family therapy in South Carolina and have shared their friendship with leaders such as Virginia Satir, Carl Whitaker, Salvador Minuchin, and so many others in order to strengthen the community of therapists in the southeast.
