Gottman, author of dozens of books and professor of psychology at the University of Washington, presents a marital therapy program incorporating his own research and work with over 700 couples. He provides a non-technical explanation of his findings, which suggest that most marital conflicts involve unresolvable relationship issues; but his therapy approach shows clinicians how to move couples from gridlock on these issues to dialogue.
