The Gottman Method
The Gottman Method is one of, if not the most, research-based methodology for couples therapy internationally. Further, this method has also been the subject of research. Studies using randomised clinical trials have been published in the Journal of Family Therapy and the Journal of Family Psychology endorsing the effectiveness of the Gottman method.
The Gottman Institute is also in the process of conducting additional research to prove the efficacy of the therapy method.
Gottman therapy involves personalising the principles from the Sound Relationship House Theory to each couple’s unique interaction patterns, issues and challenges.
Gottman therapy has a strong focus on assessing and understanding the presenting and underlying issues couples bring to therapy. The new Gottman Connect online assessment is an easy to use relationship assessment tool questionnaire consisting of 337 questions about friendship, intimacy, emotions, conflict, values, and trust, as well as parenting, housework, finances, individual areas of concern, and more. Gottman assessment allows the therapist to thoroughly understand the key issues, strengths and weaknesses of the couple, to develop agreed-upon treatment goals and ambitions.
The Art of Gottman therapy lives in the relational and experiential principles that are embedded in the practice. Through the gentle guidance of a Gottman therapist, couples are engaged in a series of essential conversations that gentle negative interaction, creating a deeper place of understanding and validation. Greater emotional connection is built as couples learn and experience more awareness of each other’s feelings and perspectives, responding non-defensively, expressing empathy, intimacy and kindness. Gottman therapy enables couples to heal the past, attune the present and create a future.
