Biographical Note
Linda Hertel Dykstra (1944- ) is a psychologist with a B.A. from Calvin College, M.A from the University of Michigan, and Ph.D. from Wayne State University. She served as Dean of Women at Calvin College, 1968-1971, when she entered private practice focusing on marital therapy. Since not all couples who enter marriage counseling decide to stay together, she studied divorce mediation. She did graduate work at Western Michigan University, trained with the Academy of Family Mediators, and in 1987 founded the Mediation Center of Grand Rapids, Michigan, which offers divorce mediation to those who wish to end their marriage in a non-litigious manner.
