Cloé Madanes (born 1940) is a teacher in family therapy and brief therapy. She has teamed up with Tony Robbins since 2002 to train strategic interventionists for finding solutions to interpersonal conflicts, preventing violence, and contributing to the creation of a more cohesive and civil community.[1]

Professional works

Cloé Madanes studied psychology in Buenos Aires, Argentina. She was a student of intervention teacher Milton H. Erickson, and was one of the founders of the strategic approach. She is a clinical member, supervisor and fellow of the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy.

She worked at the University of Maryland Hospital as a clinical assistant professor in the Department of Psychiatry beginning in 1974. She was also an assistant professor at Howard University Hospital. After several years, she was offered the position of Adjunct Associate Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Maryland. She held this position from 1980 to 1984. She and her former partner, Jay Haley, founded the Family Therapy Institute of Washington, D.C., and the Family Therapy Center of Maryland where she served as the director until their divorce in the 1990s.

Madanes has written a number of books: Strategic Family Therapy, Behind the One-Way Mirror, Sex, Love and Violence, The Secret Meaning of Money, and The Violence of Men.[2] Her books have been translated into more than twenty languages. She has presented her work at professional conferences around the world. She has won several awards for contribution to psychology and has been featured in Newsweek, Vogue magazine, The Washington Post, and The Boston Globe.

Since 2002, Madanes has worked with Tony Robbins developing the new field of Strategic Intervention. With Robbins, Cloe co-founded the Council for the Human Rights of Children, co-sponsored by the University of San Francisco, which applies the insights of Strategic Intervention for the protection and healthy upbringing of at-risk children.
