Gottman Method Couples Therapy: What We Know About What Works and Doesn’t Work in Relationships

Gottman Method Couples Therapy is based on the over 40 years of multi-dimensional research of Dr. John Gottman on marriage and relationships with over 3000 couples. He is world-renowned for his work on relationship stability and divorce prediction, involving the study of emotions, physiology, and communication. In this introductory workshop, participants will learn what the research shows about relationships and learn the Sound Relationship House theory. As a result of their attendance at this workshop, participants will be able to understand how to think about what makes relationships work well and what makes them fail using the Sound Relationship House Theory.

Learning Objectives:

1. Summarize the research that allows us to predict future relationship stability.
2. Identify the Four Horsemen and replace them with their Antidotes.
3. Describe the 7 levels of the Sound Relationship House theory.
4. Identify the three domains for therapeutic goals in Gottman Method Couples Therapy.
