Very helpfulJuly 13, 2007 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Having taken the 1st Gottman seminar, I found this book very helpful to extend my knowledge of how to apply Gottman's interventions and theories to real couples with challenging problems. It was great to know I was not alone in needing to use interventions multiple times (where some of the Gottman texts makes it sound like more should happen with a first time intervention.) There are detailed examples and the therapists rationale for why and how they administered their interventions.
A Must Have Book !November 19, 2006 7 out of 7 found this review helpful
Great book for learning the Gottman approach, or any couples counseling, for various situations. Has nice parts where the therapist explains his/her rationale for why/what intervention was used and any experienced countertransference issues observed. Great learning tool for the novice and experienced couples therapist !
