You’ll view video of Dr. John Gottman’s research with couples and see extensive films from the Gottmans’ clinical office demonstrating their use of Gottman Method therapy with their clients.

You’ll receive a 300-page Clinical Manual featuring new relationship assessment questionnaires and clinical interventions that you’ll be able to use immediately with your clients.

Clinicians who take this workshop will be equipped with new methods and tools to help couples break the cycle of criticism, defensiveness, contempt and stonewalling. Through demonstrations and films from the clinical office, you'll see how to apply the research-based principles and interventions of Gottman Method Couples Therapy to strengthen:

The Friendship System - the building block for intimacy, passion, and good sex
The Conflict System - the basis for helping couples manage solvable problems and understand and manage unresolvable differences
The Shared Meaning System - the existential foundation of the relationship that helps couples create shared purpose in building a life together

Workshop Objectives Participants will be able to:

1. Summarize the research that allows prediction of future relationship stability.
2. Describe the seven levels of the Sound Relationship House theory.
3. Conduct a couple’s therapy assessment using elements of the couple’s narrative, the Oral History Interview, written questionnaires, observations of conflict, and individual interviews.
4. Describe two interventions for each: to help strengthen a couple’s management of conflict, to enhance a couple’s friendship system, and to explore a couple’s system of shared meaning.
