About the Gottman Method

According to the Very Well Mind (Overview of the Gottman Method, 2023), the Gottman Method is a type of couples therapy developed by Dr. John Gottman and Dr. Julie Schwartz Gottman.

Interventions used in the Gottman Method are research-based and grounded in the Sound Relationship House theory, which specifies nine elements of a healthy relationship.

The Gottman Method aims “to disarm conflicting verbal communication; increase intimacy, respect, and affection; remove barriers that create a feeling of stagnancy, and create a heightened sense of empathy and understanding within the context of the relationship” (About The Gottman Method, The Gottman Institute, 2021)
