Roumen Bezergianov

Roumen Bezergianov is a psychotherapist working with troubled youth in Phoenix, Arizona. He was born in Bulgaria in 1976 and immigrated to the United States at the age of 17. "Character Education with Chess" is his first book, based on his use of the ancient game as a therapy tool. He relies on psychological and spiritual symbolism of the game and its pieces, story-telling and conversations that spring from such symbolism, to help young people clarify their values and build motivation for a meaningful life.
