Jean Baker Miller Training Institute
A program of the Wellesley Centers for Women at Wellesley College Wellesley MA

The Jean Baker Miller Training Institute (JBMTI) at the Wellesley Centers for Women is the home of Relational-Cultural Theory (RCT) which posits that people grow through and toward relationships throughout the lifespan The institute is dedicated to enlarging our understanding of human connections and enhancing human possibility. We examine both the personal and social factors that lead to painful disconnections; and we seek ways to increase our capacity to find strength and facilitate social change by building respectful and encouraging connections. Our work, which focuses on relationship development, has been applied in clinical settings as well as in organizations and has been hailed by some as a transformative model of human potential.

Our Training
The JBMTI provides education and training to clinicians, educators, reserachers, business professionals and members of the community. The workshops, courses, and professional trainings at the Institute explore applications of the Relational-Cultural approach and integrate research, psychological theory, social action. At the heart of this work is the belief that the Relational-Cultural model opens the way to a new, beneficial paradigm for understanding human experience.
