Relationship, MD
Dr. Alvin Pelt (B.S.’78, Biology; WMU Alumni Association Board) as the author of "Wish I Knew Before Loving You - a 21st Century relationship manual."

A psychiatrist with Board Certification with the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, Dr. Pelt is affiliated with The Ohio State University and Ohio University where he serves as an Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry. He is committed to helping people who are interested in developing and maintaining healthy relationships. He is reaching his target audience through writing, publishing, workshops, presentations and individual therapy sessions.

Throughout his professional journey, Dr. Pelt has always reflected on his own educational experiences. His professional career has allowed him to lecture on various topics, to many populations, including undergraduates, medical students, resident doctors and health professionals. Often, the participant feedback is “I loved your presentation; I learned a lot; I laughed a lot.”

It became evident to Dr. Pelt that his style of teaching was effective on topics that are generally difficult to understand, much less enjoyable. In his clinical work, he noticed how problem relationships are at the root of much unhappiness and have tremendous negative impact on his patients’ mental health and financial issues. When looking at the systemic effect that broken relationships have on society-at-large, this awareness moved him to provide some basic education and guidelines on how to identify, initiate, and maintain healthy relationships.

Founded by Dr. Pelt, Relationship, MD is a go-to source created to revolutionize and transform relationship experiences by changing the mindset of the individual. It offers a professional perspective on the dynamics of human relationships; this knowledge and perspective is presented in common down-to-earth language with an entertaining and humorous flair. The specific professional perspective centers around Freudian psychology that will take into account the conscious and subconscious parts of the mind, as well as the individual’s childhood experiences and their impact on the adult’s choice of potential mates.
