Course Description
This course will review some of the research conducted by John Gottman, Ph.D. which predicts future relationship stability with 94% accuracy. We will compare the features of a stable relationship with those of relationships of couples who seek couples therapy, through the use of relevant clinical case material provided by the instructor and members of the class. Finally, we will explore a variety of effective interventions which are based on our understanding of psychoanalytic theory.
