How clinicians use it
Julie Schwartz Gottman, PhD, and John Gottman, PhD, offer a research-based guide to turning couple conflict into deeper connection. Explains common fighting mistakes and conflict styles, and teaches practical skills for calming down, staying connected, repairing ruptures, and collaborating instead of winning. Useful for committed partners as a self-guided or therapy-adjunct skills resource. Not for crisis intervention, intimate partner violence, or acute trauma stabilization.
