Description

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.

Critical Reviews

We recommend this book to everyone--from student to seasoned clinician--who is involved in conversation, training, practice, research, and theory-building about marriage. This is an essential and primary source.--Harville Hendrix, PhD, and Helen LaKelly Hunt, PhD, coauthors of Doing Imago Relationship Therapy in the Space Between

Filled with practical, evidence-based, step-by-step strategies that should be part of every couple therapist's toolkit.--Douglas K. Snyder, PhD, professor of psychological and brain sciences, Texas A&M University (College Station), and coeditor of The Clinical Handbook of Couple Therapy

Perhaps the two most important clinician-researchers of the past fifty years . . . John and Julie Gottman pour all their brilliant research, professional experience, and passion for understanding and helping couples into this authoritative text for future generations of couples therapists.--Richard G. Tedeschi, PhD, professor emeritus, The University of North Carolina at Charlotte, and executive director of The Boulder Crest Institute for Posttraumatic Growth

This compendium of clinical brilliance is both fun and funny, filled with insightful humor and offering a deeply enjoyable journey for any clinician seeking to help couples thrive. What a gift to our professional world!--Daniel J. Siegel, MD, New York Times best-selling author of Aware, IntraConnected, and Personality and Wholeness in Therapy
