George Pulliam, MSSWGeorge is Lecturer in the Family Therapy Program and works with practicum and internship experiences. He has been involved with the UHCL Family Therapy Program since its early beginnings in the late 70s. George has a reputation in the family therapy community as having trained ‘everybody in Texas’ and it is most probably true. With a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Lynchburg College in 1957 and a Master’s in Social Work from College of William & Mary in 1960, George has a spectacular multi-disciplinary mind that makes his systems ideas especially rich. He has a great following from his trainees and he has earned every bit of it. George states that his work with adolescents at a boy’s ranch for delinquents taught him more about therapy than any place since. He also has worked with some of the best minds in Family Therapy such as Harry Goolishian, Paul Dell, and Harlene Anderson to name just a few.
George grew up in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia and was the second child and only son of working class parents. George was a handful with lots of spunk and vigor and still is to this day. He met Betty Lou and married her and they celebrated their 48th anniversary this year. They have 3 wonderful adult children who they are very proud, 6 grandchildren, and 2 grand-dogs. George is a retiree ‘in name only’ from the Medical School at the University of Texas in Houston and also worked at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston for 19 years. He became excited by Multiple-Impact Family Therapy at UTMB with Harry Goolishian, PhD and worked with several thinkers in developing their version of Strategic Therapy. No doubt they worked with some of the most challenging cases around the area. George is also a Galveston County Master Naturalist and he and Betty Lou are especially fond of raising monarch butterflies.
