David Schnarch Ph.D.

I am so grateful to have read many of his writings and to have participated one time in a workshop that he conducted on Cape Cod. His influence on my thinking, feeling and work as a couples and group therapist is immeasurable. I have been in practice since 1975, but my encounters with David were turning points, and few days go by without me thinking about concepts like "differentiation" and "self vs other-validation."

I recently read his book Passionate Marriage. I was spiritually guided to it at the right time. It's a book that's going to support me throughout life. I am sorry to read of his passing on Wikipedia. I should have liked to thank him in person but I say thank you here.

Looked David up on Wikipedia tonight. Not sure why. But I found his obituary. What a profound loss. I am a couple and sex therapist and he helped me become the therapist I am today. He is very missed

To young to go, but he left the world a better place. Miss him . Would love to have spent more time. Love Miriam and Frank

Hi Davids Family,

I travelled from London to Germany to see David a few years back. His book Passionates Marraige helped me greatly, after i went through a very bad tine, particularly the part on self-soothing,
I want to thank David personally, his family and the Source of Life who sent him to us for his life’s work.

A life well lived; a rest well earned!

Love & respect;

Patrick K

Though I never met David, his teachings and understandings have forever left an impression on my heart & spirit & who I am. His life’s passion managed to set my life experiences on an alternate trajectory, forever enriching my life by way of enhancing my ability to connect and nurture relationships. I send my heart felt thankfulness to his wife, family, and those he loved and supported him, thus, enabling him to share his timelines gift of understanding with the world.

David was a gift to the world. His thinking has been central in my work as a therapist. I am filled with gratitude

I worked with David years ago on his CRM system. He was such a nice person to work with. I listened to his audio books to help me in my relationship as well as being able to listen to his soothing voice. I am saddened to hear of his passing.

We are very saddened to hear of David’s passing. He was a wonderful person, a gifted writer, teacher, and clinician who changed the field of Couple’s Therapy.
May your memories bring you comfort. Love, Yvonne and Terry
