Dr Jansen was co-founder of the California Family Study Centre in Los Angeles, now the Phillips Graduate Institute, a large graduate training centre for marriage and family counsellors. In 1981 Dr Jansen was joined by Margaret Newman and together they developed the Jansen Newman Institute into the prestigious education and training provider it is today.
