Jean Houston, Ph.D. (born 10 May 1937) has been a leading figure in the cross-cultural study of spirituality and ritual processes. A prolific author of books, she is one of the founders of the Human Potential Movement. Her PBS Special A Passion for the Possible has been widely viewed. Houston was perhaps formerly best known for her involvement with Margaret Mead during Mead's final years but she may be most widely known for urging First Lady Hillary Clinton to carry on imaginary conversations with Former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, in which Mrs. Clinton had to supply both sides of the conversation (discussed below). As this example suggests, Dr. Houston is a spiritual guide who has worked to develop ritual processes.
