Phillips Graduate Institute
Phillips Graduate Institute is a graduate school based in Encino, Los Angeles, California. It provides graduate education in family therapy, art therapy, and human relations. In the 1950s its founders, Clinton E. Phillips, Ph.D., and David Jansen, D.Min., had pioneered the application of family systems theory and the initiation of family therapy at the American Institute of Family Relations. In 1971 they founded the California Family Study Center which, in 1992, was renamed in Dr. Phillips’ honor.
A nonprofit educational, counseling, training and research center, Phillips Graduate Institute and the California Family Counseling Center (CalFam) trace their origins to the 1950s when Clinton E. Phillips, Ph.D., pioneered the application of family systems theory and the initiation of family therapy at the American Institute of Family Relations.
Phillips founded the California Family Study Center (CFSC) as the only freestanding graduate program in the country dedicated solely to the field of human relationships. Built upon the family systems model, the graduate program in Marriage and Family Therapy attracted a diverse population of students brought together by a shared passion for making a difference.
Phillips Graduate Institute remains at the forefront of confronting complex interpersonal business and social issues, exploring new avenues for change, and ultimately creating academic programs that are shaped by the communities it serves.
