Workshop Description:
The Gottman Method, developed by John Gottman, PhD, author of The Seven Principles for
Making Marriage Work, is an empirically based method for couples therapy. It has shown
unprecedented effectiveness, helping 75% of couples who complete treatment to significantly
improve their relationships and maintain their gains for one year. The goal of the therapy is to
help couples to function better in the following areas: problem solving and conflict resolution,
expressing wants, planning joint activities, discussion of emotions, and communication about
values, goals and a vision for the future. This class is designed for therapists who have minimal
knowledge of The Gottman Method and would like to learn more.

have improved their relationships.
