When author and prominent family social science researcher and teacher, David H. Olson, learned of the honor the Norwegian government had bestowed upon Kvebaek, the founder of the Kvebaek Family Sculpture Test, Olson sent a comment to this website:
“Dear David:
Congratulations on the Gold Medal from Norway. That is a great honor–-which you deserve. You were a leader of family systems assessment, and it is great to see that Julie Thorsheim is continuing to offer it in the U.S.
Karen and I are semi-retired from PREPARE-ENRICH and I retired from the University of Minnesota in 2000 . . . . .Wishing you the very best! David Olson” (See comment submitted March 2nd, 2011.)
