Acclaim for 10 Principles for Doing Effective Couples Therapy:

“In ten principles, this book lays out in an eminently readable and accessible way the basic steps of effective couple therapy. It is a great contribution to the field and will guide numerous therapists onto the path of successful intervention.”

— Sue Johnson, creator of Emotionally Focused Therapy

“Known for their iconic research on couples, their prolific writings, and the development of a couples therapy informed by their research findings, Julie and John Gottman, in this well written and comprehensive book, gift their clinical wisdom and processes to couples therapists. Filled with clinical insight, coherent theory, case illustrations, various data gathering forms, and a treatment plan, this book should increase the competence and confidence of any clinician who is wise enough to read it.”

— Harville Hendrix, Ph.D and Helen LaKelly Hunt, Ph.D, co-creators of Imago Relationship Therapy

“The Gottmans are history’s leading couples therapists. To offer clients marital therapy without understanding the Gottmans’ groundbreaking contributions is unwise. Having researched marital success and happiness, they present their findings clearly and succinctly in 10 Principles for Doing Effective Couples Therapy, so that clinicians of all persuasions and skill levels can effectively help couples thrive.”

— Jeffrey K. Zeig, PhD, Founder and Director, The Milton H. Erickson Foundation

“This book offers a clinical map for couples therapy that is both instructional and reassuring. You will find clear and helpful guidelines for adapting the Gottmans’ evidence-based approach to your work with couples. Since relationship skill deficits underlie many couples’ struggles, this skill-building model will be instrumental in helping you guide distant and warring couples, and in so doing, it will make your work infinitely more satisfying.”

— Michele Weiner-Davis, author of Divorce Busting and founder of divorcebusting.com
