Help for Couples Just as Masters and Johnson were pioneers in the study of human sexuality, so
Dr. John Gottman has revolutionized the study of marriage. For more than three decades he has conducted research on all facets of relationships, including parenting issues. At the Institute, in collaboration with
Dr. Julie Schwartz Gottman, he developed an approach that not only supports and repairs troubled marriages and committed relationships, but strengthens happy ones. The Gottman Relationship Institute provides live workshops and take-home training materials for couples, while The Gottman Relationship Center and Referral Network provides therapy referrals to couples.
Training for Mental Health Professionals Couples currently enter marriage with a 50% chance of failure. Faced with these difficult challenges, many seek a scientifically sound approach to help them understand and strengthen the weak areas in their partnership. Part of the mission of the Gottman Relationship Institute is to empower therapists to provide this help to couples and families. Accordingly, the Institute offers accredited training in research-based assessment techniques and intervention strategies for professionals who wish to serve today's couples and families.
The Gottman Relationship Institute is dedicated to combining wisdom from research and practice to support and strengthen marriages, families, and relationships. It brings the knowledge of research to therapists--and the insight of therapists to researchers. This link between research and practice reflects the collaboration of John and Julie Gottman, whose combined research and clinical experience is extensive, and incomparable.
