Workshop description:
The Gottman Method for Healthy Relationships is a popular therapy that helps couples. It comes
from the studies that psychologist John M. Gottman did in his private clinical practice. He
believed that couple interventions must be grounded in basic research. Over the past three
decades John Gottman (1984,1985,1988, 1992, 2002) has conducted a lot of basic research on
couple’s interactions over time and found out the data’s ability to predict the longitudinal course
of relationships. He was able to predict both stability and relationship satisfaction with samples
of observational self-report and psychological data. On the basis of these predictions, John and
Julie Gottman developed a theory of how relationships function well or fail, and methods to
facilitate change in these relationships through psychoeducational, preventive, and therapeutic
interventions.
