The Therapon Institute and Belief Therapy.
http://www.therapon.org/about.html
The basic concepts of the working model were first developed by psychologist Albert Ellis as Rational Emotive Therapy. Other elements of the model were unfolded in the best seller, Search for Significance, by Robert McGee. Dodson's presentation of his version of the two at a Recovery Conference in Carlin's church turned the lights on for him. TheoPhostic Counseling, developed by Dr. Ed M. Smith, presented the strongest evidence that the name Belief Therapy was an accurate description of what Carlin was trying to say. Dr. Neil Anderson's writings have also influenced Carlin's thinking. Christian psychologists Dr. William Backus and Dr. Christ Thurman have powerfully influenced Dr. Carlin's thinking.
