MARITAL THERAPY: A RESEARCH-BASED APPROACH

Presented by John Gottman, Ph.D.

Looking to Expand or Enhance Your Strategies and Interventions in Your Work with Couples?

This 14-hour state-of-the-art workshop for counseling professionals reviews Dr. Gottman’s three decades of research on what makes marriages succeed or fail that includes his findings on how to predict marital stability with 94% accuracy. This is the very same training workshop that Dr. Gottman presented around the country for many years. This workshop comes on 8 DVDs (or VHS tapes) and includes a 570-page Clinical Manual that provides direct hands-on training techniques for therapists. The manual contains 20 Research-Based Relationship Assessment Questionnaires and 51 Gottman Couples Therapy Interventions that you can immediately integrate into your work with couples. The manual also includes narrative on all topics covered in the workshop, 15 pages of references and a time indexing guide, enabling viewers to easily locate specific topics. Experience Dr. Gottman’s signature warmth and humor throughout this home-study workshop. This is an excellent resource and reference for both beginning and experienced couples therapists.

• Realize how the quality of relationships affects the immune system, physical health and well being.
