Download or read book 10 Principles for Doing Effective Couples Therapy Norton Series on Interpersonal Neurobiology written by Julie Schwartz Gottman and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2015-10-26 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the country’s leading couple therapist duo, a practical guide to what makes it all work. In 10 Principles for Doing Effective Couples Therapy, two of the world’s leading couple researchers and therapists give readers an inside tour of what goes on inside the consulting rooms of their practice. They have been doing couples work for decades and still find it challenging and full of learning experiences. This book distills the knowledge they've gained over their years of practice into ten principles at the core of good couples work. Each principle is illustrated with a clinically compiled case plus personal side-notes and storytelling. Topics addressed include: • You know that you need to “treat the relationship,” but how are you supposed to get at something as elusive as “a relationship”? • How do you empathize with both clients if they have opposite points of view? Later on, if they end up separating does that mean you’ve failed? Are you only successful if you keep couples together? • Compared to an individual client, a relationship is an entirely different animal. What should you do first? What should you look for? What questions should you ask? If clients give different answers, who should you believe? • What are you supposed to do with all the emotional and personal history that your clients stir up in you? • How can you make your work research-based? No one who works with couples will want to be without the insight, guidance, and strategies offered in this book.

His findings, and his heavily attended workshops, have already turned around thousands of faltering marriages.

Gottman helps couples focus on each other, on paying attention to the small day-to-day moments that, strung together, make up the heart and soul of any relationship.

Packed with questionnaires and exercises whose effectiveness has been proven in Dr. Gottman's workshops, The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work is the definitive guide for anyone who wants their relationship to attain its highest potential. The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work is the result of Dr. John Gottman's many years of closely observing thousands of marriages.

Foster fondness and admiration. Turn toward instead of away. Accept influence. Solve solvable conflicts. Cope with conflicts you can't resolve. Create shared meaning.

Download or read book Ten Lessons to Transform Your Marriage written by John Gottman, PhD and published by Harmony. This book was released on 2007-06-26 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Ten Lessons to Transform Your Marriage, marital psychologists John and Julie Gottman provide vital tools—scientifically based and empirically verified—that you can use to regain affection and romance lost through years of ineffective communication. In 1994, Dr. John Gottman and his colleagues at the University of Washington made a startling announcement: Through scientific observation and mathematical analysis, they could predict—with more than 90 percent accuracy—whether a marriage would succeed or fail. The only thing they did not yet know was how to turn a failing marriage into a successful one, so Gottman teamed up with his clinical psychologist wife, Dr. Julie Schwartz Gottman, to develop intervention methods. Now the Gottmans, together with the Love Lab research facility, have put these ideas into practice. What emerged from the Gottmans’ collaboration and decades of research is a body of advice that’s based on two surprisingly simple truths: Happily married couples behave like good friends, and they handle their conflicts in gentle, positive ways. The authors offer an intimate look at ten couples who have learned to work through potentially destructive problems—extramarital affairs, workaholism, parenthood adjustments, serious illnesses, lack of intimacy—and examine what they’ve done to improve communication and get their marriages back on track. Hundreds of thousands have seen their relationships improve thanks to the Gottmans’ work. Whether you want to make a strong relationship more fulfilling or rescue one that’s headed for disaster, Ten Lessons to Transform Your Marriage is essential reading.

Download or read book What Shamu Taught Me About Life Love and Marriage written by Amy Sutherland and published by Random House. This book was released on 2008-02-12 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While observing exotic animal trainers for her acclaimed book Kicked, Bitten, and Scratched, journalist Amy Sutherland had an epiphany: What if she used these training techniques with the human animals in her own life–namely her dear husband, Scott? In this lively and perceptive book, Sutherland tells how she took the trainers’ lessons home. The next time her forgetful husband stomped through the house in search of his mislaid car keys, she asked herself, “What would a dolphin trainer do?” The answer was: nothing. Trainers reward the behavior they want and, just as important, ignore the behavior they don’t. Rather than appease her mate’s rising temper by joining in the search, or fuel his temper by nagging him to keep better track of his things in the first place, Sutherland kept her mouth shut and her eyes on the dishes she was washing. In short order, Scott found his keys and regained his cool. “I felt like I should throw him a mackerel,” she writes. In time, as she put more training principles into action, she noticed that she became more optimistic and less judgmental, and their twelve-year marriage was better than ever. What started as a goofy experiment had such good results that Sutherland began using the training techniques with all the people in her life, including her mother, her friends, her students, even the clerk at the post office. In the end, the biggest lesson she learned is that the only animal you can truly change is yourself. Full of fun facts, fascinating insights, hilarious anecdotes, and practical tips, What Shamu Taught Me About Life, Love, and Marriage describes Sutherland’s Alice-in-Wonderland experience of stumbling into a world where cheetahs walk nicely on leashes and elephants paint with watercolors, and of leaving a new, improved Homo sapiens.

Download or read book The 10 Principles written by Prashant Mittal and published by Prashant Mittal. This book was released on 2024-05-05 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Let’s not hate the haters, when the world is educated enough it will change by itself. This book aims to provide readers with a clear and accessible understanding of important and complex subjects, regardless of their background, beliefs, or experiences. It is written with great care and sensitivity to ensure that no topic is approached in a way that would harm or offend any group, regardless of their similarities or differences. The book covers a wide range of important topics deeply interconnected within our lives, including empowerment, corruption, equality, freedom, self-control, evolution, and the meaning of success. Through exploring these themes in depth, readers will gain new insights into the forces that shape our world and how we can all strive for a better future. Whether you’re a seasoned scholar or a curious beginner, this book will provide valuable perspectives on some of the most pressing issues of our time. Its engaging style and comprehensive coverage make it an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of the current world. While many books cover the subjects explored in this book, they often do so in a very complex and detailed way, making it difficult for many people, especially young people, to engage with. As a result, these topics can seem distant and irrelevant, despite their significant impact on our lives. This book takes a different approach, seeking to generate clarity, relevance, and interest among readers of all ages and backgrounds. The book provides readers with a holistic understanding of the complex forces that shape our world by exploring multiple interconnected topics as outlined above. By studying these topics together, readers can gain a deeper appreciation of the interdependence of different aspects of life and how they influence each other. It is especially important for younger readers, who may still need to experience or fully understand these elements of life personally. Ultimately, this book seeks to inspire readers to think critically about the world around them, to question assumptions, and to take action to create a more appropriate and unbiased future for all. Every lesson in this book is distributed into two parts. The first part is the tale of a young girl Amber Hope, which portrays several key learnings about the world we live in, the society we are a part of, and the considerations that we should apply in our deeds and acts. Amber represents the positivity and belief in the victory of good over evil. Amber is the colour of the sunrise which brings hope to the world that the end of the dark tunnel is not too far. The second part of each lesson is constructed with stories, examples, theories and facts, all glued together with observations, understandings, and conclusions. Amber Hope’s stories explain each lesson in an easy and interesting format attainable to the readers. My ambition for this book is to become a beloved part of everyone’s entertainment. I envision family members and friends reading it aloud to each other during travel and events and as a fun evening activity. By making the book accessible and engaging, I hope to inspire people to engage with these important topics, fostering lively discussions and debates that deepen their understanding of the world and each other. This shared experience can help build stronger bonds between them and a greater sense of shared purpose and commitment to creating a better future for all. So, whether people are gathered up on the couch, venturing on a road trip, or assembled around the dinner table, I hope this book will spark meaningful conversations and inspire new ways of thinking about the world we all share.
