What is the Gottman Clinical Method?

The Gottman Clinical Method is an effective, research-based approach to relationship, couples and marriage therapy. Created by clinical psychologists John and Julie Gottman, the method is founded upon 40 years of extensive research on couples. The Gottman Clinical Method provides couples with the skills to:

• Improve communication during conflict or challenging issues

• Increase affection, intimacy and respect

• Reduce feelings of stagnancy

• Improve the empathy and understanding within the relationship
