John M. Gottman

Just as Masters and Johnson were pioneers in the study of human sexuality, so Dr. John Gottman has revolutionized the study of marriage. As a professor of psychology at the University of Washington and the founder and director of the Seattle Marital and Family Institute, he has studied the habits of married couples in unprecedented detail over the course of many years. His findings, and his heavily attended workshops, have already turned around thousands of faltering marriages. This book is the culmination of his life's work: the seven principles that guide couples on the path toward a harmonious and long-lasting relationship. Straightforward in their approach, yet profound in their effect, these principles teach partners new and startling strategies for making their marriage work. Gottman helps couples focus on each other, on paying attention to the small day-to-day moments that, strung together, make up the heart and soul of any relationship. Being thoughtful about ordinary matters provides spouses with a solid foundation for resolving conflict when it does occur and finding strategies for living with those issues that cannot be resolved. Packed with questionnaires and exercises whose effectiveness has been proven in Dr. Gottman's workshops, The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work is the definitive guide for anyone who wants their relationship to attain its highest potential.The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work is the result of Dr. John Gottman's many years of closely observing thousands of marriages. This kind of longitudinal research has never been done before. Based on his findings, he has culled seven principles essential to the success of any marriage.Maintain a love map. Foster fondness and admiration. Turn toward instead of away. Accept influence. Solve solvable conflicts. Cope with conflicts you can't resolve. Create shared meaning.Dr. Gottman's unique questionnaires and exercises will guide couples on the road to revitalizing their marriage, or making a strong one even better.

In Ten Lessons to Transform Your Marriage, marital psychologists John and Julie Gottman provide vital tools—scientifically based and empirically verified—that you can use to regain affection and romance lost through years of ineffective communication.In 1994, Dr. John Gottman and his colleagues at the University of Washington made a startling Through scientific observation and mathematical analysis, they could predict—with more than 90 percent accuracy—whether a marriage would succeed or fail. The only thing they did not yet know was how to turn a failing marriage into a successful one, so Gottman teamed up with his clinical psychologist wife, Dr. Julie Schwartz Gottman, to develop intervention methods. Now the Gottmans, together with the Love Lab research facility, have put these ideas into practice.What emerged from the Gottmans’ collaboration and decades of research is a body of advice that’s based on two surprisingly simple Happily married couples behave like good friends, and they handle their conflicts in gentle, positive ways.

Whether you want to make a strong relationship more fulfilling or rescue one that’s headed for disaster, Ten Lessons to Transform Your Marriage is essential reading.

An eminent therapist explains what makes couples compatible and how to sustain a happy marriage. For the past thirty-five years, John Gottman’s research has been internationally recognized for its unprecedented ability to precisely measure interactive processes in couples and to predict the long-term success or failure of relationships. In this groundbreaking book, he presents a new approach to understanding and changing couples: a fundamental social skill called “emotional attunement,” which describes a couple’s ability to fully process and move on from negative emotional events, ultimately creating a stronger relationship.Gottman draws from this longitudinal research and theory to show how emotional attunement can downregulate negative affect, help couples focus on positive traits and memories, and even help prevent domestic violence. He offers a detailed intervention devised to cultivate attunement, thereby helping couples connect, respect, and show affection. Emotional attunement is extended to tackle the subjects of flooding, the story we tell ourselves about our relationship, conflict, personality, changing relationships, and gender. Gottman also explains how to create emotional attunement when it is missing, to lay a foundation that will carry the relationship through difficult times.Gottman encourages couples to cultivate attunement through awareness, tolerance, understanding, non-defensive listening, and empathy. These qualities, he argues, inspire confidence in couples, and the sense that despite the inevitable struggles, the relationship is enduring and resilient.This book, an essential follow-up to his 1999 The Marriage Clinic , offers therapists, students, and researchers detailed intervention for working with couples, and offers couples a roadmap to a stronger future together.

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.In prospective, long-term research with over 700 couples, Gottman has discovered certain factors that distinguish happy, stable couples from both unstable, ultimately divorcing couples and stable but unhappy couples. These findings, which are explained here in understandable, nontechnical language, form the basis of his Sound Marital House theory of marriage, which guides the new therapy. This therapy has two goals: changing the marital friendship and teaching couples to regulate conflict.Despite the high aims of much marital therapy, Gottman found that most marital conflicts involve fundamentally unresolvable relationship issues called "perpetual problems." He shows how therapists can help spouses move from gridlock to dialogue on these issues. Solvable problems can be resolved more easily when the couple has a strong marital friendship. He gives therapists the tools to teach spouses five fundamental skills to develop and strengthen their friendship: softened start-up, accepting influence, repair and de-escalation, compromise, and physiological soothing.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 for those that fit the needs of particular couples. Whatever their choice, they will find that their practice is greatly enriched by the scientifically-based offerings of The Marriage Clinic.

Adapted from Dr. John Gottman’s Raising an Emotionally Intelligent Child , this book helps adults identify their parenting and care giving style. It explains the five important steps in “emotion coaching” children to ensure that children are guided to healthy emotional growth. Gottman argues that kids who can accept and share their emotions form stronger friendships, achieve more in school, recover from emotional crises more quickly, and are physically healthier. Beautiful illustrations of parents and children help convey the vital message of this guide.

Although this book was written to be used primarily by couples, it has become a bestselling text for college counseling courses. The skills and techniques introduced are based on the way distressed and nondistressed couples differ when solving problems. Each chapter includes practice exercises to help couples master the problem-solving techniques presented. Appendices contain problem inventories for husband and wife, a knowledge assessment self-test, and a trouble-shooting guide.

Divorce rates are at an all-time high. But without a theoretical understanding of the processes related to marital stability and dissolution, it is difficult to design and evaluate new marriage interventions. The Mathematics of Marriage provides the foundation for a scientific theory of marital relations. The book does not rely on metaphors, but develops and applies a mathematical model using difference equations. The work is the fulfillment of the goal to build a mathematical framework for the general system theory of families first suggested by Ludwig Von Bertalanffy in the 1960s.The book also presents a complete introduction to the mathematics involved in theory building and testing, and details the development of experiments and models. In one "marriage experiment," for example, the authors explored the effects of lowering or raising a couple's heart rates. Armed with their mathematical model, they were able to do real experiments to determine which processes were affected by their interventions. Applying ideas such as phase space, null clines, influence functions, inertia, and uninfluenced and influenced stable steady states (attractors), the authors show how other researchers can use the methods to weigh their own data with positive and negative weights. While the focus is on modeling marriage, the techniques can be applied to other types of psychological phenomena as well.

John and Julie Gottman, world-renowned for bringing an evidence base to couples therapy, report here the results of a second empirical revolution in understanding couples and families. This change is not based on their guesswork, but on state-of-the-art science. The book you hold in your hands finally completes the old general systems theory of the 1960s, which metaphorically described processes but did not actually research them. A new general systems theory and therapy is presented here, one which will have profound implications for powerful clinical work with both couples and families. This new theory is based on 45 years of careful basic scientific research with thousands of couples and families, including synchronized observational, interview, physiological, and questionnaire data. The Gottmans have studied some families for as long as 20 consecutive years. Their work has led to their highly replicated ability to precisely predict the future of relationships, relationship happiness, and whether couples will divorce or not with as much as 94% accuracy. Their empirical work has also led them to develop and test a theory of specifically what makes relationships work. Each construct in this theory is precise and measurable and it is all written about and described here. This book presents an original new way of understanding relationships and families. Both theoretical and highly practical, and it will help clinicians become more effective in their everyday work.

In jeder Partnerschaft finden neben kleineren auch größere Konflikte statt. Doch nur ein Drittel davon lassen sich tatsächlich dauerhaft lösen. Es ist daher sinnvoller, seine Energie und Zeit nicht damit zu vergeuden, bestimmte Probleme unbedingt lösen zu wollen, sondern mit ihnen konstruktiv umzugehen. Denn nur auf diese Weise lässt sich langfristig eine wirklich glückliche Beziehung führen – trotz der Konflikte. Die international erfolgreichen Paartherapeuten John und Julie Gottman haben im Laufe zahlreicher Studien die fünf typischsten Beziehungskonflikte herausgefiltert und zeigen in ihrem Buch, wie man sie entweder vermeidet oder lernt, auf Dauer mit ihnen umzugehen. Denn nur so kann man als Paar an ihnen wachsen.

Stereotypically, science and emotion are diametric one is cold and unfeeling, the other soft and nebulous; one is based on proven facts while the other is based on inexplicable feelings and “never the twain shall meet,” until now.John Gottman delves into the unquantifiable realm of love, armed with science and logic, and emerges with the knowledge that relationships can be not only understood, but also predicted as well. Based on research done at his Love Lab and other laboratories, Gottman has discovered that the future of love relationships can be predicted with a startling 91% success rate. These predictions can help couples to prevent disasters in their relationships, recognize the signs of a promising relationship, and perhaps more importantly, recognize the signs of a doomed one.Principia Amoris also introduces Love Equations , a mathematical modeling of relationships that helps understand predictions. Love Equations are powerful tools that can prevent relationship distress and heal ailing relationships. Readers learn about the various research and studies that were done to discover the science behind love, and are treated to a history of the people, ideas, and events that shaped our current understanding. They also learn • The “Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse”• 45 natural principles of love• 5 couple types• 5 recipes for good relationships• And much more!Just as science helped us to understand the physical world, it is helping us to understand the emotional world as well. Using the insights in this book, mental health professionals can meaningfully help their distressed clients, as well as better understand why a relationship is failing or succeeding. Appropriate for the curious non-mental health professional as well, Principia Amoris is a must-have on any bookshelf!

The widely celebrated, research-based marital therapy program―now updated and revised. More than twenty-five years ago, The Marriage Clinic presented a complete marital therapy program based on John Gottman’s much-heralded research on marital success and failure. The book provided not only a wide range of succinct and useful assessment procedures, but also a highly specific, research-based, and modularized treatment program. Since then, Dr. Gottman has collaborated with his wife, clinical psychologist Julie Gottman, to conduct their well-known “Love Lab” studies, allowing the pair to design a highly successful couples’ workshop and develop their “Sound Relationship House” theory. Now, in this influential book’s first-ever revision, Dr. Gottman and Dr. Gottman incorporate the results of their studies and their most powerful interventions. In addition to its original, celebrated marital therapy program, The New Marriage Clinic includes findings on the dynamics of same-sex couples; interventions for couples recovering from situational domestic violence; strategies for couples rebuilding their marriages after an affair; and much more. 32 figures black-and-white

This book details years of research involving questionnaires and observations of married couples in pursuit of the determinants of both marital happiness and divorce. It will be of interest to family and clinical psychologists and methodologists.

This book describes research on the emotional communication between parents and children and its effect on the children's emotional development. Inspired by the work, and dedicated to the memory of Dr. Haim Ginott, it presents the results of initial exploratory work with meta-emotion--feelings about feelings. The initial study of meta-emotion generated some theory and made it possible to propose a research agenda. Clearly replication is necessary, and experiments are needed to test the path analytic models which have been developed from the authors' correlational data. The authors hope that other researchers will find these ideas interesting and stimulating, and will inspire investigation in this exciting new area of a family's emotional life.

De la cearta la dialog. Zece lectii de viata, pentru un mariaj durabil Tot ce faci tu e sa muncesti intruna! Sau… Tot timpul, ma tii la distanta cu iritare! Sau… De ce ma obligi sa te cicalesc?! Sau… Nu te lasi, daca nu faci o drama din orice!“ Si tot asa. Recunoasteti vreunul dintre aceste capete de acuzare? Daca asa arata viata voastra sau daca v-ati consumat din cauza aventurii extraconjugale care v-a distrus familia ori daca jucati rolul de parinte in versiunea sclavului inlantuit sub puntea unei galere, atunci… aflati ca nu sunteti singuri! John si Julie Gottman, cunoscutii cercetatori americani in domeniul vietii de cuplu si familie, au extras – in urma deceniilor de studii facute pe esantioane insumand mii de cupluri – cateva dintre povestile de viata reprezentative pentru zbuciumul prin care, intr-un fel sau altul, trecem toti. Si le-au adunat in cartea de fata, spre beneficiul cititorilor avizi sa afle cum isi pot salva casnicia. Concluziile extrase de autori arata ca sotii fericiti… Se poarta ca niste buni prieteni. Isi abordeaza neintelegerile gentil si constructiv. Au rabdare sa-l asculte pe celalalt pana la capat. Pun intrebari lamuritoare si sunt receptivi la perspective noi. Negociaza si fac compromisuri. Nu critica, nu invinuiesc si nu-l ignora pe partener. Rostesc aprecieri si arata respect. Spun clar ce anume isi doresc. Isi dezvaluie emotiile si sentimentele. Nu se agita sa obtina pe loc un acord cu interlocutorul. Vreti sa incercati? Nu, n-o sa va iasa perfect din prima. Dar va veti simti, totusi, mult mai bine. Si aveti tot interesul sa perseverati. Cat o sa dureze? Toata viata. Si, apropo, o sa fie o viata fericita! Calatoria psihologica de la «cearta» la «dialog» este obiectivul principal, in fiecare terapie de cuplu. Ca sa se poata intelege si accepta reciproc, sotii trebuie mai intai sa se auda cu adevarat unul pe altul. Si nu se vor auzi, decat daca invata sa comunice. - Gaspar Gyorgy, psihoterapeut de cuplu si f

Infidelitatea. Cum sa cladesti increderea si sa eviti tradarea Un revolutionar in domeniul psihologiei relationale, dr. John Gottman aduce stiinta mai aproape de inimile si mintile noastre, in scopul redobandirii increderii, sperantei si iubirii. Aceasta este cartea care poate schimba nu doar viata noastra, ci si destinul relational al copiilor si nepotilor nostri. Gaspar Gyorgy, psiholog, autor al cartii Suflete de sticla La baza unui mariaj pe termen lung sta increderea dintre soti afirma John Gottman. Spre exemplu... increderea ca el nu va pleca la meci cu baietii, lasand-o pe ea cu toate treburile casei si copiii agatati de fusta; increderea ca ea nu se va coaliza cu maica-sa, in scopul de a-l reeduca" pe el; increderea ca el va dovedi un caracter puternic si nu-si va muta centrul gandirii in zona aflata la sudul curelei; sau increderea ca ea nu va goli fara veste conturile comune, mutandu-se apoi pe un alt continent. Si viceversa. Numai ca increderea se cladeste in timp. Si se poate darama cu viteza tradarii. Iar tradarea poate lua o varietate de forme si marimi de la devotamentul conditionat (Raman cu tine, pana cand apare cineva mai bun"), pana la nevinovata" prietenie cu un coleg sau o colega de serviciu; de la absenteism sau raceala emotionala, pana la egoism, minciuna si lipsa de respect. Pentru cei care au trecut prin toate chinurile casniciei, dar si pentru cei care vor sa le evite, Gottman declara ca orice mariaj se poate vindeca, atata vreme cat cei doi parteneri sunt hotarati sa faca eforturi oneste si perseverente pentru a ramane impreuna. Asta inseamna sa discute deschis si gentil despre cum anume au ajuns la tradare, in ce fel a fost afectat fiecare in parte si ce anume pot face amandoi pentru a reveni pe calea cea dreapta. Daca nu te incita suficient ideea ca te va surprinde amanta cand esti in pat cu... nevasta si, totusi, vrei sa ai parte de mai mult entuziasm in patul conjugal, e recomandat sa recurgi la niste discutii sincere in cuplu despre ce-ti doresti cu adevarat sa ti se intample in dormitor in afara de sforaituri. Nu spune (ca mafiotii italieni): Esti nebun? Cu gura aia imi saruta copiii!" Mai bine gandeste-te la valurile de hormoni ai fericirii ce te vor strabate din cap pana-n picioare, dupa o partida de sex asa cum ai visat dar cu nevasta. Iar daca esti sotie cu state vechi de plata, renunta sa mai presari laxative in tocanita sotului, ca sa-l opresti acasa. Si nu-i mai flutura pe sub nas paharul de vodca, in serile ca

This book is a sequel to Bakeman and Gottman's Observing Interaction: An Introduction to Sequential Analysis (CUP, 1986). It constitutes the first integrated presentation of the major methods of sequential analysis. Gottman and Roy review historical approaches such as stationarity, order, homogeneity, pooling data across subjects, and autocorrelation in inferring cross-correlation. The integrated application of techniques is also discussed. Addressing the behavioral scientist, the authors provide many examples and illustrate everyday computations. They also offer guides to existing computer programs.

Abstract -In this Original Voices article we summarize the past four and a half decades of our work on relationship stability and happiness and explore the theoretical implications of that empirical research. First, we briefly review the laboratory research, clinical work, and the mathematics used to understand our results and build our theory. Then we describe the sound relationship house theory, constructive blueprints for managing conflict, and the three phases of love. We use the term love in the narrow sense of the primary emotions that draw people together to form a lasting, committed relationship between lovers, regardless of sexual orientation. Although we began with no theory at all, we were led by our data and our clinical work at the Gottman Institute.
