Marriage Clinic: A Scientifically-Based Marital Therapy by John M. Gottman

From the Publisher

The Marriage Clinic presents a complete marital therapy program based on John Gottman's much heralded research on marital success and failure. Here one will find not only a wide range of succinct and useful assessment procedures, but also a highly specific, research-based, and modularized treatment program. In addition, there are dozens of questionnaires and interview protocols to be used in both assessment and intervention.. "Gottman compares his clinic to a restaurant, where clients are offered a menu of treatment formats, from psychoeducation for specific issues to extended therapy to repair a badly damaged marital friendship. Therapists, too, can choose among the questionnaires and strategies those that fit the needs of particular couples.

Gottman, author of dozens of books and professor of psychology at the University of Washington, presents a marital therapy program incorporating his own research and work with over 700 couples. He provides a non-technical explanation of his findings, which suggest that most marital conflicts involve unresolvable relationship issues; but his therapy approach shows clinicians how to move couples from gridlock on these issues to dialogue.
