The Gottman Method was developed by Drs John and Julie Gottman from decades of research on what makes relationships succeed or fail. It targets the ‘Four Horsemen’ — criticism, contempt, defensiveness, and stonewalling — that predict relationship breakdown. Sessions build friendship and intimacy, teach conflict management skills, and help couples create shared meaning. It’s highly structured and grounded in observational research.
