This paper was the Paul R. Martin Memorial Lecture at ICSA’s 2015 Annual Conference in Stockholm.
By Gillie Jenkinson
Dr. Paul Martin—
A Good Leader and a
Wonderful Counselor
Dr. Paul Martin was the founder and Director of Wellspring
Retreat and Resource Center for 25 years, a psychologist, and a
former member of a Bible-based cult. He was multitalented and
multifaceted. He was a giant when he needed to be but could make
himself small, empathic, kind, caring. He went out of his way to help
those who were his friends and former members in need.
In this Paul Martin Lecture, I highlight two particular attributes Dr.
Martin contributed to the cult-recovery field: being a good leader
and being a wonderful counselor. I also reflect on the impact
knowing him has had on my life and clinical counseling practice.
I start with a brief history of my contact with Dr. Martin and
Wellspring.
