Description
Based on John Gottman’s “love lab,” 35 years of research on marital couples’ successes and failures, this workshop explores assessment and treatment of couples in therapy. Characteristic myths and assumptions long held by clinicians about what is "dysfunctional" when a marriage is struggling, and what is "functional" when a marriage is going well, are challenged and novel methods for treatment are explored. This model provides clinicians a blueprint for developing effective strategies to address the three central components of the Sound Relationship House model: 1) The Friendship System, 2) The Conflict System and 3) The Meaning System.
In this pragmatic workshop, Dr. Navarra, a Certified Gottman Therapist and Couples Workshop Leader will provide background information to this system, case examples and demonstration of methods for diagnoses and treatment of couples in practice.
