Game Changer: New Resources for Therapists and Couples

The Gottmans have created a sister company to the Gottman Institute to develop and operate software that significantly advances assessment processes bringing the capacity of the lab into the clinician’s office.  It is designed to create seamless movement from assessment to intervention.  Hence there are new assessment resources and information that therapists can learn about couples and that couples can learn about themselves.  John Gottman’s mathematics, computer algorithms, multiple super computers, along with his and Julie’s vision are making this possible.  There are plans to develop more software that will help the therapist help couples.  Two examples of this coming software is the retrieval of conflict moments in which the couple are engaging like master couples in their relationship.  These videos will be available for the couple to compare to their interaction when they are behaving like the disasters of relationship.  This will also allow the couple to experience their progress which research is showing engenders hope and predicts positive change.

Further the software is intended to provide couples across the globe easy financial access and phone access to relationship assessment, guidance, and self-help assistance to change their relationship.  The democratization of clinical assistance will be of importance to couples through out the world that can not afford a therapist.
