Workshop Presenters

Drs. John and Julie Gottman

Drs. John and Julie Gottman present The Gottman Institute's Weekend Workshop for Couples, The Art & Science of Love, in Seattle, WA. In the workshop the Gottmans share humorous stories and role-plays, some of which are from their true-life experiences. Their style is clear, informative, and supportive. When participants describe their experience at the workshop, they talk about the presenters' generous energy and compassion. They value the vivid clarity, useful intelligence, and generous humor the Gottmans share at the workshop.

Drs. John and Julie Gottman co-founded the Gottman Institute in 1996. The Gottman Institute presents five couples workshops per year in Seattle. In addition, the Gottmans co-present Advanced Study and Certification Training  for therapists several times per year.
